Have you seen how kids vote in their school elections? Why in the world would you want them to have any real say in anything? It’s bad enough people get to vote before they turn 30 you want to give kids who think produce is made in the back of the grocery store the ability to make decisions?
- micromacrofoot 4y agoI've seen how adults vote and honestly I don't think there's a measurable improvement as people age. Additionally, it's unfair to say "X shouldn't vote because I don't like how they'd vote" — my argument that if you're employed there are a lot of laws involved in how/what/when you're employed. If we trust someone to work a somewhat dangerous or strenuous job, then we should trust them to vote. It's hypocritical to say that a minor can operate heavy machinery or handle dangerous materials, but they're not mature enough to vote for elected representatives.
