The children are voting
Which is why the voting age needs to return to 21.
they are still in high school.
the thousands of high schools around the country will bus the little programed snowflakes to the polls on election day.
what a nightmare...
Along the way to 30 .....
But keep it at 18 for men and women in the military.
Hell, I know 60 year old men who are nothing but overgrown irresponsible children. They may need to not lower the age anyway.
Pardon me, I have to go tell my 45 year old neighbor to get the hell off my driveway with his skateboard.
And once progressives own the future, they destroy it. It is their way.
Because nothing impresses me more than the knowledge and experience of 16 year olds.
4 year olds may be ok. Most know it’s not right to take things from one person to give to another. After that they go to public school and are taught that people with things are evil. Many go from the wisdom of a 4 year old to the stupidity of a democrat over the next 12+ years. If democrats were as smart as 4 year olds we’d be in much better shape.
The movie WILD IN THE STREETS from the short story in ESQUIRE, THE DAY IT ALL HAPPENED, BABY, was on TCM last week.
Young people get the vote, elect a rock star, everyone over 30 forced to take LSD. Remember the 1960s warning to “Never trust anyone over thirty!”

The was a movie called “Wild in the Streets” I think from 1968, that portrayed the Utopia of what happens when the voting age is dropped and a 22 year old hippy rock star gets elected.
Saw the movie. “Wild in the streets”(1968)
But in California one can’t smoke until age 21.
Why? He can't write worth a damn.
Last week the City of San Francisco passed an amendment (9-2) to lower the voting age to 16 years old
Oh, really. It passed an "amendment." And amendment to what?? Idiot blogger.
“An amendment to what,” not “And amendment to what.”
Not good enough. Pre-conceived people should be able to vote, too. People of the age of negative 10, negative 5, and so on.
Part of it is to turn 16 year olds into adults so the fairies can have at them; the other part is that they have new Democrats. What could go wrong?
When I visited this great city in the mid-70s it seemed like heaven on earth.
I would not only suggest raising it to 21+, but I would further stipulate that either land/property ownership or veteran status be required.
Since Obamacare considers 24 year olds as children, let’s raise the voting age to 25.
