Let’s see, we lowered the voting age to 18 because of the draft and soldiers service, despite having input. The drinking age was raise back to 21. The draft is gone. All service is voluntary. I really don’t believe people before the age of 25 really care about the consequences of their vote. Most are uninterested and uninformed, and swayed in the last couple of months before an election. They are more interested in other things than our Republic.
Now they want to lower it to 17. What’s the rationale? Why not 15, or 12. They are only looking for more young sensitive, compassionate, snow flakes that they can manipulate.
This reminds me of the argument for a minimum raise. Why not $100 and hour, instead of $15. All prices react to economic conditions. They just want to artificially mandate what they perceive as justice, whether it leads to the destruction of our economy or not.
I think Herbert Hoover expressed the view that the voting age should be raised to 24.
