I still leave open the possibility that it won't, as highly unlikely as that may be.

No I didnt say that now did I . 16 os to young
that's not true we got rid of trump and that's obviously a good thing for America
Why is 16 too young? Do you not think you can convince a 16 year old to vote for your people?

You played with toys and had little understanding of politics when you were 16?
On that we agree.
when I was 16 I had to work on a farm and as soon as I was 17 I took jobs to earn cash . There wasn't time to play or think about politics .

Well, they have to get them hooked before they grow up and become functional adults or they'll lose them to other parties.
It is interesting as an idea however. What makes a 16 year old capable of making an informed voting decision when they can't enter a contract, can't be drafted, can't do a lot of things until they're 18? What it says to me is that Democrats put a very low premium on voting as if it were something of no real consequence.
I have known 30 year olds with PHDs who will go to a skate park. Yes, that is plural. I never got into it myself. Video games are very popular across age groups. Many economists argue that video games are part of the reason for lower male workforce participation recently. These are adults are refusing to take adult responsibility. As for private parts... Well trump is really old, and he hires women to have sex with him, which just seems stupid to me.
I have noticed that trump worshippers are less likely to be taking on adult responsibilities. What sort of adults smoke anymore? It just does not make sense.
Anyway, I am fine with 18 as a voting age, but there is nothing magical about that number. There are plenty of mature 15 year olds who read the Economist, and plenty of immature 50 year olds who play video games all day.
17 year olds can sign an enlistment contract committing to being in the Army. 16 year olds can sign an employment contract, agreeing to work in a job. 16 year olds can drive in most states.
The rights of adulthood are given over several ages, which I think is reasonable. It is silly to say that 16 year olds are incapable of making informed voting decisions, but it is reasonable to say that on average it is too young, and maybe the age should remain at 18.
you miss my point 16nyear olds have other things n their minds they are not even in the work force for the most part and have limited knowledge
wrong about WHAT

About 16 year olds playing with toys and not knowing much about politics.
I have seen that a lot lefty . You know its true
walt its too young and you know it and a 17 year old cant serve and they only get permits to drive in most states the last I saw but that's been awhile.
they are not old enough to vote democrats want them to vote cause they think they will be stupid and vote democrat along with illegals and felons .
Ronan Farrow graduated from college at age 15, and probably had more knowledge than you have now then. People develop at all sorts of different speeds.
You are mistaken. You can serve in the US military at age 17. They are generally avoiding it, but legally it can happen. They are not allowed to send soldiers under age 18 to war zones, but sometimes the war zone comes to the US military.
I really have to ask at this point: did you serve? You do not seem to know much about it.
Most states have a learners permit at age 15, and a license at age 16.
then things have changed but they are still to young to vote maybe democrat can let Iranian nationals in Iran vote also
