Tell me again that the far left hasn't taken control of the Democrat party. Tell me how the left isn't ******* INSANE. Tell me why any rational adult should support this party...

A Constitutional Amendment?

Just the one they want to pervert.

If anything the age should be increased.

When I was 16 I was as dumb as a brick, a complete moron, a follower, stupid as F. I've only improved slightly in the years, but it's still slight improvement.

Voting, drinking, driving, gambling should be min. 18, more appropriately if you ask me, 21. People are living longer, responsibilities have changed drastically. When agrarian society was more the norm, a kid might help his parents work the land, he learned hard work and responsibility. My dad lied about his age to join the military. This isn't the same type of generation, not mine and definitely not todays.

Appealing to the young, uneducated and easily manipulated is what socialists need. It's disgusting really.

How are the people debating this issue socialist?

Debating it is ok, accepting it is just wrong.

I don't want youth being treated like adults in most cases, it's why they are referred to as "youth" and not "adult".

How is this anyway socialist in nature?

I'm meaning if the far left wish to push for socialism. which I think it can be argued it is the case; they need the uninformed youth to vote for it.

Only Congress can change the voting age for federal elections.

You don't need to be young to be uninformed. Socialism is never going to be implemented in the USA..

Which is why it will not pass or they will send it back to be rewritten.

On the surface it seems a bad idea, but then when you stop and think that just this past FY we added 1.27 trillion to the national debt and these 16 year olds will be stuck dealing with that debt after we are dead, seems they might have more skin in the game than we do.

 

[theHawk]

Well....they are the party of petulant children. I just never thought they would actually want to embrace that personification literally.

 

[Crepitus]

Maybe it'll get the Republicans back to running on ending the DOE again. They used to talk about ending it, dunno what happened.

The out in a secretary who is allowing them to milk it for profit.

 

[theHawk]

What does the far left have to do with what is being considered by a vote to allow 16 year olds to vote?

No rational Democrat would think it was a good idea to give children the right to vote so who does that leave?

I would say I am shocked the Dems would want this, but I am not. If there is a course of action that is completely irrational for a cohesive society to take, Democrats will push it.

Who supports this insanity other than the far left?

18 year olds are not mature enough

Neither are 25-year-olds.

 

[irosie91]

21 still seems logical to me. -------from the POV of a neuroscientist
(sorta) A 16 year old has a BABY BRAIN

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

18 year olds are not mature enough

But old enough to die for their country.

irrelevant
they can still be immature to vote --which a lot of them are
they are usually still living at home/etc and have no idea of how life works

The minimum age for voting should be 35.

 

[BookShaka]

Gee I wonder why the Dems would want this...

Let the 18 to 24-yr olds in the military vote and everyone else has to wait till they’re 25. Seriously if we’re going to let 16 year-olds vote we might as well let 10 year-olds vote too. Maybe even one-year-olds... just let the parents make the decision. As long as they vote for the “right” party is all that matters, right?

 

[irosie91]

I is a registered democrat ----the DAY I turned 21-------but I am mature now----
and -----in 2018 voted REPUBLICAN for the first time in my life------I amazed
myself. What 16 year old would want to be an old stodgy REPUBLICAN

Washington, DC, could let 16-year-olds vote for president
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington, D.C., City Council is preparing to vote on a bill to lower the voting age to 16 for all elections, both local and federal.




The demotards must be hard up, I mean 16 yr olds vote, lmfao 20 something don't have a clue about life let alone a sixteen year old. Most of them are more concerned with how to screw their favorite music star one day

Yet you can't buy smokes until 21, some staes a gun until you are 21, you can't get a job without mommies signature sometimes at 16, you can't have a full drivers license .......

and you pathetic Democrats want sixteen year olds to vote on top of those who area CURRENTLY in prison you are some sorry pathetic mental cases.

democrats are funny when they get desperate.
