This is another example of why statehood for the District of Corruption is a bad idea.
Why not four? Then liberal parents can make thier kids vote what ever Democrat is on the ballot.
If they are allowed to vote, they should be allowed to own and carry firearms.
Liberals are dependent on an ignorant, impressionable electorate.
We should rethink allowing them even to drive until they can recognize the difference between reality and video.
The real question is: “Should 16-year-olds be allowed to vote Republican?” and I expect the answer is an overwhelming NO. :)
They would have 12 year olds vote if they could get away with it.
The reality is, very few 16 year olds would care enough to vote. The hurdle of getting out of bed and putting the phone down is just too high.
DC elected a corrupt AF crackhead as mayor.
Sit at the small kids table and hush now.
NO! Next question...
It should be common knowledge that the Left’s strategy is based on achieving long term goals. They’re a bit more patient. Hence, Kennedy being able to dupe Reagan in ‘86 and the subsequent flood of immigrants, that vote for the Dem’s. Now they are pushing for more and more immigrants for this same reason. Especially the young ones, the teenagers. In 8 years, they’ll have been completely indoctrinated in US schools and will be able to vote.
Now they want 16yr olds, who spend more time with their face in a smartphone screen and on Instagram, then anything else.
They must know something. They must have some data somewhere that tells them that without this kind of help, they’re doomed. If any of those color coded election maps are accurate, the US is pretty effin’ Conservative. It’s only the densely populated, urban centers, where all the immigrants and Leftists live, that keep any semblance of balance. Wonder what a proportional allocation of Electoral Votes would do to election outcomes.
Hell, if the 17th Amendment were gone today, you’re looking at at 62 Republican Senators from the Red states, 22 from the Blue states and splitting the rest, you’re looking for at least 6 more Republican’s in the Senate.
Until/unless a comprehensive (unbiased) curriculum of history/economics/civics is re introduced into the schools then they will not be ‘voting’ as we understand voting. They will be tools of the last TV program they saw, the last magazine they read, the last rapper they heard, the last politician they saw/heard on the news...
It's entirely irresponsible to to govern the most powerful, wealthy national entity in the know universe by relying on the emotions of immature and uninformed voters. Most of our current problems can be explained this way.... a lot of demanding, emotional and immature voters who can't think past the immediate, temporary, concrete and personal got us where we are right now.
Same for immigrants... if you are NOT assimilated or tolerably fluent in English... how on earth can you comprehend the issues much less, vote? You will be exploited and cheated at every turn.
When my grandparents came here in the 20’s, they had to demonstrate at least a functional grasp of the language. I am sure that was meant to assure they could work and also escape being exploited by ANY politicians.
And trees should get to vote!
Hell, dimbulbcrats think ANY age should be allowed to vote.
Unless they are of the fetus variety.
And can be killled on a whim.
Or for a latte.
Liberals are the enemy.
Treat them as such.
I think it should be as soon as you can say “mamma”.
The dems can just send them all a pre-filled out voting card and they can just make their mark on the bottom. Heck, anybody in the house should be able to do that. In fact, they could make copies of it and have the dog put his paw print on the bottom.
Too young with zero life experience. Shouldn’t yet be voting. Generally they are dependent on parents/guardians for their care and support.
What hapened to “14 or Fight” ?
Would need new amendment to vote for POTUS. See 26th amendment.
Of course dims want ever younger voters - it’s so easy to manipulate them emotionally and play on their need for more free “stuff”.
