Should it be done? I ask that you discuss this question on merits, not on the basis of who will get a partisan advantage/disadvantage from it.
>>540170324Only if they also lower the age of consent and the age at which people can be drafted
>>540170363But why? Things associated with adulthood don't have to happen at the same time, I think it's possible not to have an "adulthood age" at all if the system was redesigned from scratch>the age of consentPretty sure it's typically 16 in European countries
Yes. Impressionable kids should have equal vote as educated adults. I think voting age should be lowered to 7 and school teachers must be women.
>should we allow even more easily manipulated retards to vote>not only we will have to consider women dogshit opinions, but also children nowif anything less people should be allowed to vote. 25+ years + minimum income
>>540170427>But why? Things associated with adulthood don't have to happen at the same timeThey should, however, be sorted in the order of required maturity. People shouldn't be voting before they can drive or wield a firearm.
>>540170324no, but I support losing the right to vote at pension age
>>540170600>They should, however, be sorted in the order of required maturity.Agreed>before they can driveI thought in the US you can get a license starting from 16 or something?>before they can wield a firearmI personally interpret voting almost as if expressing your opinion regarding how the country should be governed such that you and your loved ones benefit from it, and the actual result (how the country is going to be governed in actually - ideally) is decided based on a popularity contest of these opinions (as calculated by whichever electoral system is used). I don't know if this interpretation is retarded, but if not I'd consider wielding a firearm to require more maturity than voting
>>540170324absolutly fucking notactually there should be enacted serious competency test, one deciding about country should have at the very least basics of own culture (country he decide about), history, math, economy, maybe geography, physics and some ethics systemeducation was supposed to do so, but it is jokeI'm meeting people in highschool unable to fluently multiply single digitsand even higher standard for politician, no more situation guy from Big Brother becoming parliamentary memberotherwise we Idiocracy timeline
We should let non-citizens vote as well, everyone should have some input as to how our country functions and it's policy. It's not fair that Canadians and Mexicans have to react to United States voting policy when they have no say in it. You're really onto something here I really like it
If they can read they should get a vote with every right and obligation that comes with it. Mandatory parliamentary seats for every age group too. Let it all burn
>>540170324The "voting age" should not exist. The only people who should vote are those who have paid direct taxes within the last 12 months, regardless of their age, sex, religion, ethnicity, etc. Their votes should be weighted according to the taxes they have paid. For example, if you have paid $1,000 in direct taxes within the last 12 months, your vote should be worth ten times more than a person who has paid $100, but one hundred times less than a person who has paid $100,000, and so on.
>>540170912I mean a 10yo can understand rifle a lot easier than geopolitics
>>540170324It's risky 16years old are not enough corrupted by the education system and they can still notice the engineered lack of transparency in voting system and impossibility by design to verify the integrity of elections, not to mention that it's really sucks not being able to verify your own vote in the age of crypto blockchains.
>>540170324As long as they can drink, own a home, own a firearm, get married, consent to fuck at that age as well. If theyre okd enough to vote, they're old enough to enjoy every other right of being a grown adult. I'm kinda sensitive about this shit since my wife's grandma tried to get me locked up hen I first hooked up with my wife cause I was 27 snd she was 16. Kentucky's age if consent law at that time permitted 16 year olds to consent with anyone 16 and over with no cap on the older persons age. My mom and mom in law were pushing for us to get married practically from the moment we got together. But her grandma called the sheriff, told them I was drugging and raping her grand daughter. Had the sheriff himself come out to our property and question me, her, my mom, her mom. Once he understood everything was kosher and she was legal age to consent, he told us we need to keep it on the down low and not let the general public know about our relationship. That's the point -we tried to keep it to ourselves but my wife's bitch gramma tried to get me beat or worse by telling everyone in our area on Facebook that I was molesting, drugging, raping an underage girl. Thankfully her gramma died of a massive stroke back in 2021.
>women can't consent until they are 25
>>540172945As if that's ever stopped anyone in all of history.
>>540170324Sub 30yo citizenships are complete brainlets. Tne age should be increased and an IQ test taken for qualification
>>540173508*Citizens
>>540170324No, you should only be able to vote after 25 and you shouldn't be able to vote after 65,has nothing to do with rights, drafting or alcohol, but with the frontal cortex of the brain developing and diminishing
>>540170324>Should the voting age changeIn the upward direction, sure.But if we start giving 14-17 year olds - young impressionable kids who are bombarded by a constant stream of Teacher's Union approved propaganda - the ability to vote, it will only end in disaster.The age of voting should be bumped up to 21 at minimum. Many youths heard the siren's call of Obama's "Change" campaign and were disillusioned by it because of their school's bias towards him. A few years of deprogramming from school is enough to sway anyone, which is why they insist on you going to college, which is a lot harder to sucker someone when the bigger picture becomes about how you use your own money.
>>540170427Why? Because it makes it is more practical to enforce if you have the same age of adulthood universally across the board for:>voting>conscription>firearm ownership>alcohol, tobacco, weed>porn, sex toys, consent>end of public schoolingIf you have a different age for every single thing you want to age-restrict, you're going to quickly end up at a point where the gas-station jeet, the bouncer, or the grocery store clerk no longer give a shit.
>>540170324The voting age should be raised to 25 and removed at 60
>>540170324The correct voting age for males is 16, but contingent upon being a net taxpayer.The correct voting age for women is never.
Bump
Only people with foreskins (any age) should be allowed to vote
>>540170324voting age should be raised to 30, kids know nothing
>>54017032416 yr olds cant even read
>>540170527Based accelerationist.
>>540170324Should be raised to 25.
>>540170324>Should the voting age be lowered to 16?They should lower it to 14 and take away voting rights of people over 70 or arguably even 60.
There shouldn't be a voting ageEveryone should get a vote
>>540170324Only whiye land owning Christian males should be allowed to vote.This would fix every problem.
>>540170324the voting age, the age of consent, the legal drinking age, and any other "age" indicators of adult responsibility should all obviously be the same age.
The voting age should be abolished. If you work a full time job you can le voot and a maximum age of 45 should be instituted. This maximum age also applies to anyone running for office.
the voting age should be for people who are at the age that they can join the military and be put in combat and are signed up to be drafted for that, otherwise you shouldnt be allowed to vote, and i dont care if your society thinks thats at 3 year old or at 33 year old. if you arent willing to back up your vote with military power, its not really a vote at all.
