After all, Obungacare says parents have to provide healthcare until then, so they must be too young to be responsible.
My preference is military or public service before voting rights.
Of course the Left wants this. They know they can influence young minds through mass media because they run a lot of it, much the same way Hitler had his youth program.
Nope. If anything, raise the voting age back to 21. These teens today are much more immature than other teens their age a generation or two ago. They in no way have what it takes to be an intelligent voter. It doesn’t take much to be a dummocrap voter; just parrot the latest talking points and pass them on without processing them between your ears, unfiltered. This is how we end up helpless pawns in a helpless and weak nation, by producing thousands of illiterate non-critical thinking high school and college “graduates” instead of maintaining our strength through a thinking populace. No thanks. I have not been impressed in the slightest by what I’ve seen so far of teens in general now and particularly of little brat tools like David Hogg, so well-trained in libtardism he’d put a sea lion at the zoo to shame. Arp, arp, arp, here’s your fish, David!
Young people today are particularly vulnerable to the influence of the mas media and ent4ertinment industry. The majority are not very serious about life until they reach 25 or so.
So I propose a new age requirement for voting - 25 years. It makes just as much sense as the NYT’s, and I am sticking to it.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Raise voting age to 25-30. :)
My proposal for voting eligibility.
18 or older, AND, either, serving in the military, employed full time, a mother of minor children not receiving any form of welfare, and those 62 or older and retired from any of those circumstance.
And a category for the independently wealthy who are self-supporting with no need for employment.
Because they are naive and malleable enough to listen to whatever BS the MSM covers them with?
Sorry but more and more I have come to realize that this culture seems intent on keeping older teens in a state of perpetual adolescence (except for sex, that is one adult activity they are encouraged to experience)making this generation among the least mature I have known. It as gone so far that I even have doubts about 21 years of age being adult. The new adult may be 25 years of age or even older.
So to suggest lowering the voting age is simply an acknowledgment of how easily lead and manipulated teens of today are. Besides if it is too young for them to marry ...?
The goal here is to get the kiddies to pass local millage increases. People who don’t have to pay taxes are all for raising them, to show how nice they are supporting whaterer is proposed.
Why refuse voter id laws? Simple: to elect more Democrats.
Why restore voting rights to felons? Simple: to elect more Democrats.
Anything to do with vote tampering, you can be sure it's to prop up the Democrats, who are losing on the issues.
There fixed it.
16? Why not 4? After all, teenagers often become rebellious and to their own way, which might not work for liberals hoping that mental conditioning in schools will work to their advantage. But a 4-year-old will do as told and that’s a good thing if we can fill pre-school and kindergarten with blatant liberal politics, and vote for longer school days to keep them away from interfering parents.
More nonsense from left wing idiots.
Voting age should be 26 because medical, dental, and vision care is available. An employee can have his child as a dependent up to that age at my work.
I’m guessing that if kids today were advocating conservatism, the NYT would NOT be calling for allowing them to vote.
Haven’t read the article but, assume it is full of cap and contrivances.
They infantiling youth while arguing they should be allowed to vote?
Currently, teenage drivers under the age of 18 in the state are required to take a driver’s education class before receiving a permit and later a 12-month provisional license that requires they stay off road between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.. They’re also not allowed to drive with anyone under the age of 20 in the car unless accompanied by a 25-year-old licensed driver.
And in 2020 under AB63 The new bill aims to raise the age cutoff for all those restrictions to 21.
You also 8ns8st on are restrictions for the purchase of alcohol, guns and ammunition.
You also insist they may not apply for a powered airplane license until 17.
Their parents must provide insurance until they are 26.
It is a dishonest premise.
If the first paragraph is 100% nonsense...
If they could the left would allow watermelons to vote.
Hold on.. do we actually know that watermelons are not voting?
If we cared so much about the kids, would we be BURYING them in MASSIVE DEBT?
I don’t think so. :)
If the kids are so important, how come I can abort them?
