I used to disagree with you cause I remembered how mad I was that I missed being able to vote in 2000 by a year. But I finally realized I’m over 30 now so how the hell does that matter ;d.
Now I’m fully in favor of raising the voting age, it’s way too easy to vote, they don’t let morons perform surgery so why let them choose the most powerful person on the planet.
I can’t believe I’ve been voting for 24 years (just mailed off my absentee, only had 3 things on the ballot: President, U.S. House and our unopposed buffoon of a Dem State Rep, I wrote in her prior GOP opponent). Although at 18 in 1992, I was way more informed than probably 99% of the electorate.
Anything where you’re voting on the power to tax (and hence the power to destroy), voting MUST be a privilege and not an explicit right, and should be only for those producing wealth who have skin in the game, not for those taking, and certainly not for the bulk of those (save military/law enforcement/emergency) employed by the government. You’d have a swift return to responsible governance again as the Founders wanted, no more tens of trillions of dollars in debt or strange Marxist foreign-raised agitators or crooked feminist lawyers in high office.
