well, 17 year olds who volunteer currently can’t vote, where’s your feigned outrage for them?

felons can get a waiver and join, even after losing their voting rights. no self-righteous anger for them?

nm, you weren’t being serious, lol

of course there should be pathways to getting the franchise. isn’t literalism fun!

I am being serious here.

These young men and women are giving up their lives for their country. If we expect this of them to fight and fight well, then we should also expect them to vote well.

That they do not and choose poorly, is it the fault of the kids or of those who taught them? That the kids have taken their liberal education and are wising up as they hit the real world, tells you everything you need to know about them.

Poorly educated perhaps, but not going to stay liberal.
