Considering the 20,000+ underage (probably Biden) voters in Georgia this last election, they are already doing it and getting away with it.

quote:

Progressive Democrats in the House of Representatives unsuccessfully pushed an amendment lowering the federal voting age to 16 as part of the H.R. 1 voting rights package on Wednesday.

The vote was 125-302 in the House with the majority of Democrats voting in favor, 125-93, according to C-SPAN.

Sounds good to me. 16yr olds are notoriously known for being level headed decision makers.

Just insane. It's purely a vote grab. They don't even care if these kids understand the issues.

I also think it's disgusting someone who is paying almost no taxes to have a say equal to people who pay a ton of taxes. Kids shouldn't be paying taxes, at most they should be working part time.

If your old enough to kill a baby you’re old enough to vote.

At a time when a lot of states have raised the requirements to drive without restrictions from 16, Democrats want to give 16-year-olds the power to choose elected officials.

And yet they still couldn't purchase alcohol, rent a vehicle, or rent a hotel room by themselves....

Sure.
While we're at it, let's make it legal for a 16 year old to:

- drink
- smoke
- go to war
- take out a loan
- be tried as an adult
- kicked off of parent's health care
- be responsible for their own taxes

If we're treating them like adults and all, better make sure they get the full experience.

We are fricked. I hate what is happening to this nation so much. It is like a knife being twisted daily. Luckily this is unsuccessful now but the amount of support for this is alarming.

Of course if you disagree you arent anti racist!

CRT being sold to kids as gospel in the public schools and now they are on the brink of allowing those 16-17 year olds to vote.

RIP USA. The spiral to totalitarianism is accelerating.

We have given up any idea of wisdom in this nation.

Ever lower age of consent. Watch the ability to vote be a factor in concent. They don't need more votes or voters. They got that outset figured out. They just need the young age to participate in society be a norm.

Nothing but virtue signaling since this would require a repeal of the 26th Amendment.

If they can vote at 16, how about buying guns?

Not if you control the courts.
