        Universal emancipation. If kids are ready willing and able to vote then they should. I’ve never seen a cogent argument against this that doesn’t fail in the face of how adult voters choose to exercise (or not) their vote

        uh, no, if kids voted we'd have some vulgar clown in office who doesn't understand basic principles of governance, throws temper tantrums, tears up paper for no reason, etc.

        I think registration should be automatic at 18, and all citizens should be able to vote if they aren't in prison on Election Day

        Election Day should be a national holiday. Felons who have served their time should be able to vote. The elderly and handicapped should be able to easily access polling locations.

        I think people should be automatically registered upon their 18th birthday and voting should be compulsory.

        They aren’t? Here is Australia it’s compulsory, you basically get enrolled once you get your drivers license (18 and above). Then, if you don’t vote in any election, you get fined.
