Of course. Allowing 16 year old kids to vote while they are being indoctrinated in anti-America schools makes perfect sense. The Democrats are hell bent on destroying this country. This is just another example of why California is dying. By the way, this kind of corruption and depravity is going national if Joe Biden wins.
Children can stay on their parent’s healthcare plans until they are 26 years old (because they are still children) but we should give them the awesome responsibility of voting when all they know is the leftwing crap taught in public schools?
We should up the voting age to 30.

A major American city may soon allow 16-year-olds to vote — and others could follow suit
If the proposition passes, San Francisco would become the first large city to give 16- and 17-year-olds the right to vote in local elections.
By NBC, September 13, 2020
San Francisco residents will cast ballots in November to determine not just who should be in the White House but also whether 16- and 17-year-olds should be allowed to vote in local elections.
A similar measure introduced in 2016 narrowly failed, with 48 percent of the vote, but local activists and organizers are confident that it will pass this time.
“I really think that Vote 16 will help youth of color in San Francisco establish the habit of voting at an earlier age and really provide them with the support and the resources that they need to continue building on that habit as they grow older,” said Crystal Chan, 18, an organizer for Vote 16 SF who fought to get the measure on the ballot.
If the proposition passes, San Francisco would become the first major American city to give 16- and 17-year-olds the right to vote in municipal elections. But the question remains: What would be improved by lowering the voting age by two years?
“Research is clear on this, that voting is a habit. And 16 is a better time than 18 to establish that habit,” said Brandon Klugman, Vote 16 SF’s campaign manager. “Our motivation here first and foremost is to make sure that we put new voters in a position to establish that habit in the first election they’re eligible for and then to continue participating throughout their lives, which is good for democracy on every level.”
While the debate is getting renewed attention, some smaller cities have allowed people as young as 16 to vote in local elections for years — like Takoma Park, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, where city officials say they have seen positive results since its implementation in 2013, pointing to increased youth engagement and higher turnout.
“I hear from a lot of people around the country who are interested, a lot of young people, but also people who are not young, who are interested in adopting this in their communities,” said Jessie Carpenter, a Takoma Park city clerk.

Insanity is an epidemic in the left. At 16 kids are still in diapers with a mind of a toddler. Why not lower the drinking age to 16.

It should be obvious by now that the Feds must make federal guidelines for elections, and voting, and eligibility. If SCOTUS won’t allow a law, then at least the feds can set “best practice guidelines”. Even Trump could do that with an executive order. Ultimately, a Constitutional amendment is needed. Otherwise, California will give the vote to rats: “Well rats are people too, you know.” [And they are all Democrats.]

It doesn’t sound like the DEMS will push this through for this election. I could be wrong but they already have mail in ballots and can rig that and they will. Good luck with any Consitutional Amendment on anything!

People forget how bad elections were until the 1960’s, because Democrats blocked blacks from voting. The Republicans passed federal laws to help enable blacks to vote. But the Southern Democrats circumvented those laws with absurd rules that effectively reduced southern black voting to nearly zero. And the Democrats did that for a century, and saw nothing wrong with it.

They don’t teach that in Obama’s Common Core! They are taught DEMS are their heroes – especially FDR!
Times are different. Now it has reversed. Trump stands up for blacks and minorities offering freedom and equality. DEMS do all possible to stifle and enslave them with government dependence by identity politics. Our RINO representatives go which ever way the political wind is blowing or where the most self enrichment is. The GOP doesn’t have the party cohesion that the DEMS have.

What no confidence in giving a 16 year old keys to your car so they can bar hop?
What could go wrong? Let’s let them vote too! Eye roll….
Speaking of drinking – NJ has been all over the place on the legal drinking age –
Prior to 1973 it was 21,
lowered to 18 in1973,
raised from 18 to 19 in 1980 and
raised from 19 to 21 in 1983.
The legal dinking age has consistently been 21 in PA. since 1935.

Biden/Harris will definitely want this pushed through nationwide to keep a monopoly for DEMS. They will exploit freshly brain washed and impassioned youth for their vote. Immature passionate indoctrinated youth will have a larger voice in running our country!
The left owns academia – K-12 and higher education! The logic part of their brain doesn’t catch up with the emotional part of their brain till youth is in their twenties – maybe age 24! So they LEFT will take advantage of their lack of logic, emotional impulsiveness, forming their individual identity and indoctrination to vote for DEMS! Think of it this way – were you the same person in your teens as you were in your twenties? Sure some liberals never grow up but many others do grow up and mature.
A teen’s brain is immature logically and teens run on emotions. Why do you think insurance rates are higher for teens when they start driving? It was traditionally higher for males but that maybe changing as males pretend to be females and females pretend to be males. After all feelings now determine your sex according to our nifty Supreme Court’s recent decision including tyrannies under the 1964 Civil Rights Act rather than straight forward science. Forget tyrannies are emotionally/mentally disturbed people and their DNA screams that they are either male or female, not both or some crazy combination of male and female. “I’m my own man”… yes now we know what you mean, Gorsuch…
The same problem applies to having kids exploring different genders via LGTQ+ confusing indoctrination. It all works together….This next generation is going to be a real doozy with terrible conseqences.

Frisco has to one of the most retarded places on earth! In the past I would visit the town once or twice a year. I was a nice ride on my Harley and I would take PCH back to southern mexifornia. Liberal democrat leadership /s has turned it into a total sh*t hole. I now avoid frisco like the plague. Liberal dem leadershp /s in L.A. has done the same thing there. Unfortunately for me I have to go to L.A. for work sometimes; it’s every bit as disgusting as Frisco is.

This group seems to be more interested in “youth of color”, rather than just American youth, so we now have new label, Youth of Color, but is that the same as Colored Youth?.
I dont know about you but when I was 16 the last thing I thought about was politics.
So do these 16 year olds have to come out of their Parents basement to vote or can they do it through Social Media that runs everything in their life today?.

If sixteen becomes the age to cast a ballot, then it should be considered the age of majority. Meaning, any sixteen year old that commits ANY crime, should be tried as an adult.

As a licensed driver education instructor, I find it interesting that 16 year-olds account for 7% of the driver licenses issued but are involved in 25% of the recorded vehicular accidents.

When this country was started people who did not own property and had no financial skin in the game could not vote. And this has been continually eroded to the point where we are now that 1/2 the eligible voters do not pay taxes – and many of them have no idea what they are voting for. This is just an extension of that. And hey why stop at age 16 when children at all ages are being indoctrinated and have opinions on who should be POTUS. I say bring the voting age down to anyone who can blacken boxes on a form. (Just kidding)

They have to make the voting age lower and lower so it can be better controlled by the teachers who are indoctrinating the children.
