Documentary filmmaker and left-wing activist Michael Moore took to Twitter on Monday and shared the “one thing” he says we’ve “learned” since last month’s horrific mass shooting.
“If there’s one thing we’ve learned since Parkland, it’s that the voting age should be lowered to 16. Other countries do it, we should too.”
Moore was among the throng of celebrities who took to social media to shower praise on the thousands of students and activists who hit the streets in Washington, DC, and in other cities across the country and marched in support of gun control.
“I’d say at least one million people in the streets of DC! Historic!” Moore Tweeted on Saturday. “This photo doesn’t even show the full breadth of it. Thank you Parkland students and kids everywhere. You have made it clear to the adults: ‘Either join us or get out of the way. We are here & we are coming.'”
The logic of lowering the legal voting age to 16 has been circulated by several celebrities in recent weeks.
“The future belongs to this generation and they fully realize it. Let let them vote. Change voting age to 16,” said actress Mia Farrow.
Simpsons writer Mike Scully wrote, “Raise gun-buying age to 25 and lower voting age to 16.”
Steve King
If you are a teenager & believe you won’t be responsible enough to own a gun until 21, why should you vote before 21?
Countries that allow its citizens to vote at 16 include corruption-ridden Brazil and Cuba, which hasn’t head a free and open election in more than 50 years.

If the Snowflakes want Medical Insurance paid by their parents until age 26, then instead of reducing the voting age, I suggest the new voting age be raised to age 26.
Podesta thinks voting age should be 10.
The only thing that should be lowered is that clowns weight!!!!

Mickey’s sour personality is the result of one simple truth: he has not had a normal fulfilling satisfying orgasm since 1974.
If any change were to be made to the voting age, it should be increased to 25. But I’m good with it at 18. Not great but good.

HEY, that sounds good.

Minimum age to run for President is 35; nothing wrong with the voting requirement to be the same.
Voting requirements were set by the states. And, this seems reasonable. Except the Federal government is determined to take all the power for itself, as predicted.
While the Electoral College itself (And the Senate as well, don’t be fooled) is under attack by the Communists/Authoritarian/Crooks at the national level, the various states used to have the same arrangement as well if I remember correctly, an “Electoral College” based on the counties. The courts ruled this un-constitutional naturally.
Democracy is never once mentioned anywhere in the founding documents, nowhere - not in the Declaration, not in the Constitution or Bill of Rights. In fact, the entire separation of powers and administration of government between the states and the newly created Federal government was exactly to preclude “Democracy”.
Something happened that’s interesting, during World War II, to official Army training manuals. Around the time of World War I the official definition of Democracy was “promotes license and agitation, attitude towards property is communistic, results in mobocracy” etc etc. Harsh, no BS description of what “Democracy”. Then after the war, the definition was changed to some glowing mealy mouthed nonsense “The people decide” and it’s all unicorns and rainbows.
The bustout scam to unass Americans from their nation has been in full force for 100 years. Look what they’ve accomplished.
