I’m 100% with you. It seems like Republicans tend to be focusing their fight on “saving women’s sports” . Totally stupid. The issue this country has is much deeper than sports.

This Jacinda is absolutely a certifiable nutcase. In other words, typical dimmocommie. Kids 16-17 years old are not fully intellectually developed, it’s a fact. What responsible person would allow such a malleable intellectually immature person to decide national policies and leaders? Only a rabid dimmocommie like Jacinda Moron.

WILD IN THE STREETS(1968). For real!

Why stop at 16? How about 10 years old? Maybe even 8?

I read the original story “The Day It All Happened, Baby!” by Robert Thom, back in 1967. I still remember the illustrations from Esquire Magazine.

Let a teenager vote while they still know everything.

Hollywood has noticed and joined in . . . in a way. They have signs saying “Lower the age of puberty”.

Oh, HELL no! The human brain isn’t fully developed until Age 25. How about debating raising the voting age to 25 instead?

Will they lower the age of consent to 8?

Cuba, already allow voting from the age of 16
_______

Nobody has free vote in Cuba!
Poor 16 years old are dragged to the compulsory “vote”, where they have to manifest their support for the ruling dictatorship.

At 16, mommy is still doing their laundry for them. Human brains don’t fully develop until 25 so let’s let them vote at 16.

You wrote, "Those who do not have a stake in maintaining a stable society are a threat to everyone else."

This is why I gave the examples of driver's license and bank account. Both of these are affected by law makers.

I do not know the answer to minimum voting age. I offered a perspective, that's all.

Might as well let the four legged sheep vote, too.
