Raising the voting age to 25

[Blaster]

We shouldn't raise the voting age

We should just raise the IQ requirement to 100.

That would disqualify half the country.

 

[Blaster]

Really?

You really think people aren't going to get their hands on booze until they are 25? Millions of people work, travel, run or own companies before the age of 25. It's impractical. And if the shit ever really hits the fan, you want to wait until every fit man is 25 before they can defend the nation? Absurd.

A good point.

Exactly.

Haha.

Haha.

You plan would remove 40% of those that join the military.

Just the immature people.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Just the immature people.

So, are you now back to each individual person should have a different age they can drink, smoke, vote, join the military, sign a contract and more?

Who is going to decide if they are mature enough?

How will that determination be made?

How will the people that sell booze and smokes know if the person has been deemed mature enough?

There needs to be one age of majority for everything.

Saying someone can vote and decide the fate of a nation but not smoke or drink is idiotic.

or go to war.

Many people are not mature enough at 18 or 21.

Many people never become mature enough. Look at trumps moronic minons. They are not young.

Trump has support from all age groups.

 

[TheProgressivePatriot]

Trump has support from all age groups.

Yes there are a few younger idiots, So your criteria to determine if someone is mature enough to vote is whether or not they support trump? If so I have to question your maturity.

 

[Blaster]

Yes there are a few younger idiots,

The idiots voted for Biden.

This seems like a good idea.

Vivek Ramaswamy proposes raising voting age from 18 to 25

Republican presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy is set to announce a proposal that would raise the voting age from 18 to 25 unless Americans serve in the military or pass a civics test.

No. Why is Republicans constantly look for new ways to prevent people from voting?

I was going to suggest raising it to 50 and having to be a property owner. Unless you actually OWN a piece of the USA and have lived a long time, you likely don't really know what the world is really about yet to be informed enough to make your vote count.

Especially now days where "kids" are still living at home in their 30's.

Why do democrat fascists constantly try to oppress, ban, silence, attack and destroy those simply wishing to express their different opinions, views, ideas and needs? Views which comport with time-tested age-old views going back generations, not just the past 2 years? Consider how speakers are attacked at colleges simply trying to give a talk about conservative views, ot the thread here about the guy who was attacked on SM and fired from his job after being threatened and attacked just for expressing his view that he didn't think LGBTQ stuff ought to be taught to little kids in school?

Voting is good.

An informed voter who knows the candidates and issues and can vote INTELLIGENTLY free of media propaganda is even better.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if potential voters had to pass a simple, non-partisan three question basic test to prove COMPETENCY to vote before every election? It might actually get people thinking about and more involved in their country, their government and the issues.
