Special Suffrage

Since our most recent U.S. Presidential non-selection, for one thing a Trumpian could not become is therapeutically presidential, I have become worried about our democratic suffrage. Perhaps only mothers, or maybe also fathers, of kids with special vulnerability needs should be allowed to vote, or perhaps each and all allowed to vote, but only special needs parents to vote twice. With each vote cast, whether one or two, this vote is cast for healthy futures wealthiest nutrients imaginable for future generations with increasingly special climate needs. It may take a special mom, a compassionately vulnerable dad, to truly see each child has special needs to regenerate toward full strength wealth of health accessible to those born harmed by an increasingly rabid ecopolitics of every man for himself (and also women and children, if and as time allows) in a Might Makes Triage Right evolving world of actively distrusting revolutions between aristocrats who harvest power and special needs kids who, by comparison, harvest not, and never ever will. Unless, or course, we might conquer democratic potential and original intent by electing candidates whose primary experience of electoral special needs value are WinWin outcomes as moms, and maybe even dads, of kids with climate healthing special needs well met suffrage through discontent.
