Title: Liberals want Voting age to drop to 16
Post by The Mechanic on Mar 20th, 2019 at 7:32am
It's like they are not even trying to pretend these days.

They realise that Manufactured the school systems to brain washing the children to be Liberal Lunatics with "safe spaces"

So they want these kids to vote because they believe they'll vote DNC

They want illegals to vote because they vote DNC ( Freeshit for everyone) (thanks taxpayer)

They also play identity politics and divide race against race, men against women, kids against adults, and also hope to pick up the poofter vote.

its sickening

But I had to chuckle at this tweet by Katrina Pierson which destroyed Nutty Nancy Pelosi's call to lower the voting age  ;D

she's easy on the eyes too!  ;)

I would raise it to 21 these days with kids in a never ending bubble of schools until that age.

And did you not see the Kids Climate Protest whereby the Teachers pulled the kids out of class to do their dirty work for them?

The kids I saw interviewed on TV said that their teachers were against the strike, and that they told the children not to leave the school grounds.

Because most of them haven’t lived in the Real World, Worked or Paid Taxes or even thought for themselves.

If you were in the Military by that age that would be a different story.

University is a very large part of the "real world".

Most university students, and a large proportion of high school students, have jobs and pay taxes. McDonald's, Coles, etc.

I'm not sure if you've ever been to university, but you certainly need to think for yourself during assessments.

The military, however, teaches you to not think for yourself.

Super High School or as you call it University is far from the "real world", it is the last refuge to be a child. If you have no adult responsibility you tend to vote for free stuff from those with responsibility. Rights and responsibilities are two sides of the same coin, if you have no responsibilities you have no right to impose your will on those who do.

Economics should teach people that if you spend the extra four or more years in class and create $100,000 or more in student debt you can not default on your lifetime income better make it worth it! Having a trade school certification learning to do something of real value in the "real world" has much more value to employers then your Arts Degree. If you can make responsible choices in life you are more likely to make responsible choices in the voting booth.


Beatoff seems to be competing with Chiquita Khrushchev for the dumbest A-hole in politics and has the support of people like you.

We definitely need to raise the voting age to at least 25 since current theory is that the brain hasn't fully developed before then!

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.

What do the Democrats promise? Something for nothing, a free lunch, a chicken in every pot, vote democrat because work sucks. Let others do it and share with us! Fifty percent of Americans pay no federal income tax and about eighty percent of those are on some form of government assistance and they vote! I'm sure you think that is fair.

    Democrat platform proposals:
    -Abolish the Electoral College
    -Expand SCOTUS
    -Make the Senate representative of population
    -Let 16 year olds vote
    -Have a policy suggestion box
    -Massive wealth redistribution through tax and envt'l policy

Its quite simple actually. You say permit killing viable babies, I say allow women choice over their own bodies.

You say massive wealth redistribution, I say allowing everyone a minimum wage to be able live comfortably.

Abortion isn't really about the womans body, it is about the little human she is carrying. As soon as it can safely be removed and allowed to develop to full term then I will support her Right. After all that's what got her pregnant in the first place, her Right. If we all recognized life beginning at conception and counted age as nine months before your first breathe we would all see abortion as what it is, murder!

The minimum age is for teens learning to be employees, it is for people that need a chance to prove themselves to employers. It isn't a career choice, if someone can't rise above the minimum at their job they need to move on to somewhere with more opportunities. Raising the minimum wage just makes more automation economically viable. It is cheaper to put in a kiosk rather than have counter help at a fast food restaurant when the wages rise above a certain level.

Clearly I did and have paper from both. There were a lot of long days working during the day and going to class in the evening. I am not whining about anything, if those extra years you spend in classrooms gives you a valuable viable skill it is worth the effort. Personally I favor Engineering because I like to tinker and build things, you may think sitting on your dead ass in air conditioning is worth a large paycheck.

Easy student loans just gave Universities the ability to raise tuition by multiples of what it once was because students would defer payments. It is all simple math. How much can you make with your "nothing in liberal arts" degree as opposed to a skilled job earned from an Apprenticeship program. As you pay back this student loan how much of your monthly budget goes to repay it? Subtracting that how much more money are you making than the skilled craftsman?

Gillum’s ‘red flag’ plan to stop Trump: 1M more Florida voters

Andrew Gillum announced a plan Wednesday to register and turn-out 1 million new and low-propensity Florida voters in an effort to crush President Donald Trump’s reelection chances in the nation’s largest swing state.

“Voter registration is red flag No. 1,” the former Tallahassee mayor told POLITICO, calling increased voter registration crucial to the Democratic Party’s ability to survive and thrive in Florida.

“We’re looking at a target of 1 million,” he said. “We’ve got over 3 million people eligible to vote, and that’s to say nothing of the 1.4 million returning citizens” — former felons in line to have their voting rights restored under a constitutional amendment approved by voters last year.

Gillum’s staff wouldn’t give specifics about the targeted number of new voters he hoped to register or the number of voters they hope to reengage after they decided not to vote in the past two general elections.

At the same time, the Florida Democratic Party said it will spend $2 million in the next year to register 200,000 voters ahead of the 2020 presidential primary.

26th Amendment to the
United States Constitution




Quote:
Amendment XXVI (1971)

Section 1.

The right of citizens of the United States, who are 18 years of age or older, to vote, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of age.

Section 2.

The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.


● In order to change the voting age from 18 to 16, there would need to be an amendment/revision to the 26th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

The Constitutional Amendment Process (link) is traditionally set to a maximum of 7 years to complete, meaning from the time the proposed amendment is sent to the individual States for ratification by the People, each State has up to 7 years to complete the process, & report it's vote back to the US Congress.....

● If you are 17 years old, & will turn 18 by Election Day, you are permitted to  preregister to vote  in most all 50 States, & in some States you can even vote in the primaries for the Political Party you register in, prior to turning 18. If you register to vote as an Independent, you are not permitted to vote in any Party Primaries in almost all 50 States.  ;)

There have, in over 225 years of US History, been in excess of 11,000 Proposed Amendments to the United States Constitution...........of those only 33 were successfully passed by super-majority votes of each House of the Congress (US House of Representatives & the US Senate). Of those, only Twenty Seven Amendments were ratified by 3/4's (38) of the 50 States.....by the People. 

Of over 11,000+ Proposed Amendments, & only 27 were ever successfully Ratified to become the Law of the Land in over 225 years. ;)

Somebody want to do the math?.......What are the overall odds of a proposal becoming a Ratified Amendment to the US Constitution?

The 26th Amendment came about because of specific events taking place with younger men specifically.

We were deep into a very unpopular war......the Vietnam War.

The draft was still in effect, & all young men attaining their 18th birthday were susceptible to being drafted.....trained for war......& forced to die for reasons most really didn't understand.

Prior to that magical/cursed birthday, most were just getting used to dealing with women, now they had to somehow deal with enemies they had no understanding of, going to a land they had no desire to visit, to be shot at & possibly/probably killed at every turn, & subject to all sorts of disease, & horrors imaginable. There were no true options, there were no exits they could use to escape this profound dilemma.

The voting age was 21, sure they could drink legally at 18, but they were being asked to forfeit their lives & have nothing to say about it......they couldn't vote on those that were sending them unwillingly to intense danger & possibly death. So to placate the electorate, the government thought giving these men young boys would make them feel better....more important.

I completely agree with 21 being the verge of maturity.....not there yet, but closer. The US Drinking age was increased to 21 because it was said, & proven, that 18 year olds were too immature & too irresponsible to take on alcohol, but all of a sudden 18 years old became mature enough to make decisions that could affect the entire future of the Country???

That's totally daft......but politics will always be politics....

IMHO.....21 should be both the drinking age (which in the US it is thank God.....should be here in Australia too), & 21 years old should also be the voting age.........it's a matter of maturity........50 years ago, 18 year olds were forced to mature earlier, but today, even the 21 year olds seem very reluctant to take on the process of life & reality.
