Boston City Council votes to lower voting age to 16 for local elections...what do you guys think...should teens be allowed to vote?

[basquebromance]

my son is 13, he's smart, he's strong, but he's smart, and he should be allowed to vote, my friends. he's a Trump kid!

We need more rubes

 

[Auld Phart]

I think 18 is as low as we should go.

Hell no. We should raise the voting age to 35.

Teens are already allowed to vote.

I think the age should be raised to 21.

 

[my2¢]

I don't mind if 16-year-olds are allowed to vote. Just as long as it is limited to local elections and the locality isn't one where I reside.

same with being drafted.

same with being drafted.

The two aren’t really related.

 

[Thinker101]

Dang, with schools nowadays, can they even read at that age?

it should be raised to 35. I don't know many 21 year-olds that are wise enough to vote.

 

[Thinker101]

same with being drafted.

Damn, did they reinstate the draft.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The two aren’t really related.

Of course they are

 

[Moonglow]

Only if you open the window.

you are over 35 and not wise enough to vote, so that blows you whole argument out of the water

I think whatever age you are should be included in the sans-voting meme.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Adulthood should have one age. Pick one and stick with it.

Voting, drinking, smoking, dying for your country, signing contracts and the like.

Should all be one age. In my opinion that age is 18

How did I know some leftist idiot would post that garbage argument? Using that same logic, no Democrat should be allowed to vote.

Thanks for proving that you're stupid.

your assumption that all these decisions require the same amount of knowledge and wisdom is especially idiotic..
