    There's a growing movement to let 16-year-olds vote. It would change everything. http://bit.ly/2GHjRCf pic.twitter.com/W2kzNKtqJO

        What would change everything is if all 18 to 30 year olds voted

        I would go along w/the voting age of 16 IF the school curriculum had Government classes from the 9-12th grades! Right now it’s taught in 8th grade & Sr yr! Kids can make well informed decisions based on facts and knowledge provided by being educated more about our pol history.

        They basically aren't independent from their parents. They aren't considered adults. Not a good idea.

        Such a bad idea given their general lack of historical and civic knowledge

        Probably for the better. Young people can be more passionate and more idealistic and I think that can be very good for the country

        It proves the old adage ... If you're under 25 and you're not a liberal, you have no heart. If you're over 25 and you're not a conservative, you have no brain.

        Then 14, then12....then my fetus.That way the top alpha dog of the family or Clan can control all the votes. If they're not emancipated, of the current voting age, then they don't get to cast fake votes. #MarchForOurLives #EnoughAlreadyMSD #BlueWaveComing2018#DrainTheSwamp

        Then teach political science in junior high, get the younger generation involved! They should be involved in what wars they are going to!

        Not a good idea, their minds are still developing and they would vote for teeny naive things, like Jeremy Corbyn
