No. I actually think it should be raised to 21.

Same frickers who parked kids in their parents' basement to 26 free from "job lock" and riding on their health insurance now want to lower the voting age to 16?

Are we lowering the draft age to 16? Buy a firearm at 16? Age of consent to 16?

frick all that.

And be required that you actually pay federal taxes to be able to vote. People who pay no taxes and live off handouts will just continue voting for whoever promises the most handouts. It ain't their tax money anyway

Translation: “We need more votes and we gotta start brainwashing these kids”

Gen Z is one of the more conservative generations in a while and Dems know that

Bad ideas from a desperate political party.

Someone should tell her to ask Diane Feinstein what she thinks about kids and their politics.

If you need to be on your parents’ health insurance for whatever reason (assuming because it’s too difficult or “expensive” for someone 25 or younger to be responsible enough to afford?), then maybe you’re not yet ready to vote responsibly either?

If you’re already providing your own insurance, perhaps you are ready to vote, so maybe a sliding scale of responsibility pre-qualifiers can be established? [/mostly sarcasm]

So someone who served wouldn't get to vote if they were on some sort of disability?

Children... Should vote........

The holy grail for them
children of illegal immigrants.

Bring the socialists in from Socialist shitholes, indoctrinate their children, and have those children remove Constitutionalists/Capitalists at the ballot box.

Revolution and Fundamental Transformation without firing a shot.

Obviously there would be exceptions for actual disabilities, especially disabled vets. I was referencing able bodied people who live off government handouts by choice. Ones who are either lazy and don't want to work or that dropped out of school and have an 8th grade education and reproduce like rabbits with no means to support them other than welfare.

Nothing is stopping anyone from getting their own health insurance before the age of 26

Supreme Court already said Congress can’t do shite about the voting age. It takes a constitutional amendment and I don’t see it happening.

Putting quotes around something and changing it ever so slightly to make it sound more "terrifying". Typical Trumpkin behavior
