Yeah, and they could have the teachers unions show them how to vote. Oh I forgot, they already do. How convenient.

[Savage Beast]

Of course she does. She’s reaching for a one party system in the USA.

4!!! :)

[null and void]

The human brain doesn’t finish all its developmental stages until age 25.

Just sayin’...

[Don Corleone]

Pelosi told the Times that she wanted to expand voter access to 16 and 17-year-olds “because when kids are in school, they’re so interested, they’re so engaged.”

And so politically stupid!

[House Atreides]

Why not 13?

[Republican Wildcat]

They want illegal immigrants and now children voting for powerful politicians and policies the rest of us will have to obey.

They are not any longer hiding their desire for one party rule and machine politics at the national level.

[Cboldt]

Universal sufrage is a societal death sentence, regardless of age.

[Flaming Conservative]

Outta on the face of it! And besides, these kid’s aren’t being taught about government.

[so_real]

Desperation

Looking for uniformed, but highly energized and malleable, voters where ever they can be found.

[cabojoe]

Who’s going to stop 16 year olds from voting anyways? Dead people and illegals get to vote, why not teens! Heck, if they make it 10 feet out of the birth canal sign em up! Plants and animals too!

[Seaplaner]

The oddly, and ironically named "Democratic" party just HATES free, fair, and adult Citizen elections.

Beyond mere socialism, might this is be Venezuela partie deux, headed our way?

[Vince Ferrer]

If they can vote they should be able to buy guns.

[Widget Jr]

This is a admission that the Democratic Party no longer appeals to responsible adults.

[MrEdd]

I back making the age for consuming intoxicants, driving, military service, and voting accrue one year apart in precisely that sequence, starting at sixteen.

[rockinqsranch]

We don’t know who runs the Democrat Party. It isn’t the followship we see on TV in the form of Schumer, and Pelosi. They are just the policy readers for the real leadership, the invisible leadership, the ones behind the curtain. Where’s Dorothy when you need her.

[albie]

Why not 8? And a $100.00 an hour minimum wage? And abortion up to the age of 3? And 4 votes per dem, 1/4 vote per conservative? Oh, and the death penalty only for white males!

[Ciaphas Cain]

Heinlein had the best idea I ever came across. No true citizenship unless a person serves a minimum of two years in the military. At the end of which he or she becomes a citizen with the right to vote, to hold office etc.

[Leaning Right]

Please be patient, Ms. Pelosi. The waves of illegal immigrants will get you that one party system soon enough.
