Quite frankly, I would like to see the voting age tied to the same age someone can purchase a firearm....Tit for tat.
When I was 16 I cared nothing about anything but music,getting girls to go out with me, and my acne. My vote at 16 wouldn’t have contributed *anything* worthwhile to this country.
Leftist Rule #1: The Left cannot exist without a sufficient number of stupid people.
No, and neither should 18 year olds and neither should anyone who has no stake in the survival of our country.

Well as long as they are illegals, uh undocumented Democrats, they can vote at any age, alive or dead.
Raised. And property owner requirement added
The monarch and privy council would be allocated a budget commensurate with their vote total and could divide the goodies as they saw fit. The libtards could look to them for pork, college grants and the like and leave our elections alone.
Think of yourself at 16, is the answer still yes? Think of the average demonicrat at 16, now answer truthfully.
"Section 1 The right of taxpaying citizens of the United States and their family members...
Only if they can also buy a new M4 at normal AR15 prices.
No. 21 and a net income tax payer. (Don’t give me this “we all pay sales tax” stuff)
No - never. Raise the voting age to 35 and deny the vote to anyone who doesn’t actually pay in money in taxes.
Raised...to 25 minimum. No one on welfare are eligible until they have been off it for 13 months
No and here is the reasoning that the Libturds have laid out as a justification.
1. Libturds are pushing for long gun purchases to be raised to 21 because anything younger is due to their mental state not being fully developed. I agree and all things appropriate should be raised to 21 as a minimum. Better yet since children up to 26 can remain in their parents healthcare because they are not responsible enough to manage their affairs we should take that into consideration.
2. This age raise would apply to anything and everything. Driving, marriage, ability to obtain a loan, drinking alcohol, you name it. Make one standard and adhere to it.
3. This would cause some grief to parents but for the good of the nation let’s be realistic. If a young adult is too young to drink or possess a handgun they must surely be too young to make a sound decision on the direction of the nation, state and local governments.
4. Military service should be the one thing that could be impacted the most from this but if we are realists. There will be pain in this area also. There should be a conscription process starting at 21 where every able bodied young adult is placed in a pool and a lottery is drawn. No paying off the draft board. No draft deferments. You serve for a minimum of four years. This captures the whole pool of eligible young adults. Volunteering for service would still be an option over conscription.
5. The only deviation from this would be with parental consent. Nothing lower than the age of 18 would be considered legal or binding.
Okay, no poll tax test.
But I say you shouldn’t vote until you are responsible for your own healthcare costs.
Be that off your parents’ insurance at 26, the pay-as-you-go healthcare roulette method, or relaxing on the Medicare you paid into for 40 years.
Before that, no voting!
Certain classes of people should be ineligible to vote regardless of age. These are:
NO.
HELL NO !!!
NO!
16 =:
1. Incomplete education
2. Lack of experience
If they are mature enough to vote in elections, then they are mature enough to buy guns AND serve in the military.
