When I was mid 20s I thought young kids were too naive. I got older and saw how fucking stupid most adults are and think young kids are much smarter than their predecessors. They should absolutely have a voice in elections. 16 seems like a good age to me
If you can legally work, you should be able to legally vote!
They have a lot less lead poisoning today than those kids from 20th century past, too.
Yep. I’d say 12 is a good age to start, because most will be able to read and understand government.
12 year olds voting, Jesus Christ
Why not? Have you talked to a twelve year old recently?
I have and that’s exactly why. I have also been one.
The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter. Is a 12 year old actually worse in any way?
Hell yeah! People say that kids and teens don’t have enough life experience to make decisions, but also it’s really difficult to gain life experience when you’re constantly shielded from everything.
