Why is 2007 your magic mark?

I was born 13 years before that and in only 31. Sure I'm not young but you must be if you think people my age are the reason America is so fucked up

Not the person you replied to - it’s because you have to be 18 to vote. Hence the litmus test for those born before.

I think its because people born before 2007 are those old enough to vote in the 2024 election. Those born after are incompatible with the test.

That makes sense i guess.

Australians didn't get a say either though

Yup, full of USA defaultisum.

There are other disqualifications other than age or US citizenship that I wouldn't ask about. Not about to ask a whole questionnaire.

I suppose I could break it down to "Were you legally allowed to vote in the US 2024 election?"
