Republicans latest attempt to save a dying party - raise the voting age

If anything you shouldn’t be able to vote once you’re over a certain age. Not enough skin left in the game to be making decisions about a future they aren’t going to be a part of.

 

“This is intentional: we live in a Constitutional republic, not a direct democracy,” according to the site, which adds, “Voting is a privilege, and civic duty is a proper precondition for enjoying that privilege.”

I thought this guy was gonna try to be reasonable. This is one of the dumbest ideas I've heard in a long time.

 

Next it will be to prohibit people with advanced degrees from voting.

 

And people in cities.

 

Nonstarter now, but moving Overton Window. Plus they are already trying to make it harder by moving precincts off campus or anywhere near, not allowing student IDs, etc. They are horrible people

 

Let the GOP die. It’s become too much like the Democrats to be kept on life support.

 

Trump & maga = hate, conspiracy & divisiveness. The only way they can win an election is to squelch voter turnout.

 

Fixed it for you.
Let the GOP die. It’s become too much like the Southern Democrats prior to enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to be kept on life support.

 

We live in a representative democracy, another name for which is republic.

 

I think we should raise it to 100, if you make it you get to run the country

 

This is their Andrew Yang, I assume when he loses, he's going to start the Backward party and run against Yang's Forward party.

 

create a little yin & yang, eh?

 

Plus his reasoning is dumb. But dumb is what they do.

 

The number of votes you get will be tied to the number of Nascar apparel you own.

 

"Dear GOP, we're coming for you" - Gen Z

 

I’ve always thought voting age was too young. People who are basically children, color their hair pink, and likely haven’t paid taxes yet.
No skin in the game and these misfits always vote for the feeebies.
Voting age should be lifted to 24.
It’s a no brainer.

 

Children pay taxes. Actual children. If you buy something, you pay taxes.

 

In a lot of GOP states they can have jobs at like 14 now too
