    125 Democrats in the U.S. House voted *this year* to lower the voting age to 16, and for over an hour Twitter has been telling me that this isn't a thing and no Democrat could possibly think this. And that's a wrap!

        Tom you have to delete this before they find out you're a crypto conservative.

        It's a shock like finding out your parents had sex or something.

        You know, instead of engaging in this nonsense, you can play a PC game and be much happier.

        Tom is my constant reminder that, while we may be on the same side when it comes to Trump, he still embraces the exact same policies that gave us Trump in the first place. He keeps poking the bear & then wonders why the left won't listen to him.

        It's a stupid idea but more fitting in a democracy than 57 varieties of voter suppression and gerrymandering.

        I see nothing stupid with it. Most kids at 16 would be more well informed if they were engaged in this civic duty. We give kids way less credit than they deserve
