Yeah, I’d say teenagers shouldn’t vote, precisely because they’re silly (spoken as an ex-teenager as are we all...)

16 is ridiculous. 18 is pushing it in my opinion. Frankly I wouldn’t mind seeing the voting age raised to 21 or even 30.

I mean, you really do get smarter with age. More experience equals more understanding and more perspective on things. There’s just no doubt about it.

If the goal is to improve the quality of the vote, raise the voting age.

Naturally the Democrats have it completely backwards.

AGREE...

The new gal...AOC at 29 still isn't grown up...just a former bar maid...and thinks she is an expert on all matters...would love to see where she is in 30 years, but unfortunately I won't be around ...

Teen agers are the time of their lives to enjoy and let MOM and Dad be in charge..not being out voting and making decisions for tax paying Americans...
Nancy Pelosi is brain dead...
