Maybe lower the age to 16 or 17 but thats still a big *maybe* for me
Children don't have enough life experience
Even at 16 and 17
@twomoo1119 why should children not be allowed to vote?
Also they're likely to be influenced by parents or guardians
i am talking 5 or something
Their brains have not yet fully biologically developed.
Oh
Same reason why they shouldn't be smoking weed.
I think voting age should be in the 20s
Other than "it's a sin"
25 at most
Well for starters you should at least take a civics course before voting
And have the capacity to understand politics at some level
Generally being in the workforce is also a good idea before allowing people to vote
Imo
It should be a requirement to be employed
Idk
A person who can't do his taxes shouldn't have a vote.
At least age of employment
@twomoo1119 I am sure there are 5 years old that habe a better understanding of politics than some 18 year olds
Otherwise the bloody ancaps will overtake us.
Probably also out of high school
Eww
@Kazimir Malevich ancaps aren't that significant of a population.
Ancaps
Also how did you get your position roles Kaz?
@King Leopold II That was tongue-in-cheek remark which meant more accurately "people who don't understand economics"
If you can’t pass a high school government class you can’t vote
^
It'd be more than ancaps
+ high schoolers are too edgy
They would vote for the communist party ironically
Yep
@King Leopold II Go to <#507040923884978176> and use ?ranks
So the current age is fine for the most part
And use ?rank enterrankname so you can join one.
My issue with limiting votes to a minority of people to protect values is that only a minority of the population holds those values
The worst part about voting debates is when people say "Alright, you can vote, **but only [the group I like or tolerate] can vote.**
No
I think everyone should vote
