Indeeda

yeah, there are libs in the US who want to lower it to 16

All the libs want to make the voting age 16 but that's retarded

yes

25

Like you have to account for students retardedness to vote for parties who say "no student fees" in shit

yeah

Students wont vote

Because they dont care

Not after Brexit

its bad enough with all this college debt in the US

Political studies classes have gone up by 30% over here

The college students are falling to the left

^

I hope my generation is smarter when college comes for us

All public schools should be unbiased in their teachings

the oldest are in college now

but i myself, will not take a loan for college

If i don't have a full scholarship

im going to community college

Fair

property ownership, net tax positive in last 5 years and one year of military/public service is only answer to voting rights

married couples can't do their taxes together to exclude all net takers from elections

Why would you want a Plutocracy lol?

It's not really a problem of who can vote but how.

Representative democracy doesn't do a good job at keeping its voter base informed, and the media deliberately keeps it this way

Party politics and the media circus drummed up at election time aids in voters turning it into nothing more than a sportsball game where they just want "their" party to win no matter how shit they are.

In effect, the multiple party system is a sham.

Anybody who is seriously working outside of the two parties in the real world knows this. You can explain every aspect of your policy and get somebody to agree but they still won't vote for you because they've got some Game of Thrones blood oath to their party "because my dad voted for them, and so did his dad and I'm gonna uphold the tradition" or whatever the fuck.

It's a waste of time.

It should be a one-party system where individuals vote according to the field they work in (agriculture, industry, etc.) which exists to advise the government how best to proceed on certain policies. That's the only way I can plausibly see informed votes happening.
