If it were up to me I’d say voting age is 30, and I am not that old myself.

Until then, most young people are still finding their ground. Wings they’ve got. Landing gear, not so much.

I spend a lot of time with college students. The ignorance would make your eyes burn. But if there is one imperative for nearly all of them it’s that they must be against their elders somehow — and political-cultural differences are so easy to handle. Blather, rinse, repeat. If there’s room for a second imperative, that’s for parroting whatever gets them the social connection (i.e., “hook up”) they desire.

These people should not be voting.

Not on age...but tax PAYERS: Anyone would actually PAID gets to vote. Not those @ 0% or EITC ‘refunded’. Hell, I’d put the same on the ability to donate (min., IMO, should be based on ‘ability to pull the lever’). Plenty of young entrepreneurs that would get the shaft based on age.
