Maybe lower the age to 16 or 17 but thats still a big *maybe* for me

2019-01-18 18:10:24 UTC  

Children don't have enough life experience

2019-01-18 18:10:30 UTC  

Even at 16 and 17

2019-01-18 18:10:33 UTC  

@twomoo1119 why should children not be allowed to vote?

2019-01-18 18:10:41 UTC  

Also they're likely to be influenced by parents or guardians

2019-01-18 18:10:49 UTC  

i am talking 5 or something

2019-01-18 18:10:52 UTC  

Their brains have not yet fully biologically developed.

2019-01-18 18:10:55 UTC  

Oh

2019-01-18 18:11:03 UTC  

Same reason why they shouldn't be smoking weed.

2019-01-18 18:11:06 UTC  

I think voting age should be in the 20s

2019-01-18 18:11:09 UTC  

Other than "it's a sin"

2019-01-18 18:11:11 UTC  

25 at most

2019-01-18 18:11:17 UTC  

Well for starters you should at least take a civics course before voting

2019-01-18 18:11:41 UTC  

And have the capacity to understand politics at some level

2019-01-18 18:11:58 UTC  

Generally being in the workforce is also a good idea before allowing people to vote

2019-01-18 18:12:06 UTC  

Imo

2019-01-18 18:12:12 UTC  

It should be a requirement to be employed

2019-01-18 18:12:17 UTC  

Idk

2019-01-18 18:12:25 UTC  

A person who can't do his taxes shouldn't have a vote.

2019-01-18 18:12:26 UTC  

At least age of employment

2019-01-18 18:12:39 UTC  

@twomoo1119 I am sure there are 5 years old that habe a better understanding of politics than some 18 year olds

2019-01-18 18:12:40 UTC  

Otherwise the bloody ancaps will overtake us.

2019-01-18 18:12:48 UTC  

Probably also out of high school

2019-01-18 18:12:57 UTC  

Eww

2019-01-18 18:12:59 UTC  

@Kazimir Malevich ancaps aren't that significant of a population.

2019-01-18 18:12:59 UTC  

Ancaps

2019-01-18 18:13:19 UTC  

Also how did you get your position roles Kaz?

2019-01-18 18:13:31 UTC  

@King Leopold II That was tongue-in-cheek remark which meant more accurately "people who don't understand economics"

2019-01-18 18:13:39 UTC  

If you can’t pass a high school government class you can’t vote

2019-01-18 18:13:47 UTC  

^

2019-01-18 18:13:47 UTC  

It'd be more than ancaps

2019-01-18 18:14:01 UTC  

+ high schoolers are too edgy

2019-01-18 18:14:13 UTC  

They would vote for the communist party ironically

2019-01-18 18:14:16 UTC  

Yep

2019-01-18 18:14:19 UTC  

@King Leopold II Go to <#507040923884978176> and use ?ranks

2019-01-18 18:14:34 UTC  

So the current age is fine for the most part

2019-01-18 18:14:42 UTC  

And use ?rank enterrankname so you can join one.

2019-01-18 18:16:04 UTC  

My issue with limiting votes to a minority of people to protect values is that only a minority of the population holds those values

2019-01-18 18:17:13 UTC  

The worst part about voting debates is when people say "Alright, you can vote, **but only [the group I like or tolerate] can vote.**

2019-01-18 18:17:23 UTC  

No

2019-01-18 18:17:30 UTC  

I think everyone should vote
