We should lower voting age to 17. People with small chance of even being here in 30 yrs shouldn't dominate decisions that affect those who will then be in their prime. Kids in high school are more at risk, have more at stake, and should have more power in determining the future.

We must teach our children how our democracy properly works along with facts first before we hand them the keys to the car. We all saw what happened on Jan 6th.

Bad idea. Short term, immediate wants at that age. Not all 17 year olds. But most.
Replying to @marwilliamson
This is a terrible idea.

Old enough to vote old enough to get my goat!

So just to be clear. 17 to vote, 21 to buy a vape cartridge?

Instead of lowering the age allowed to vote, they should raise the age of allowance to join the military to 28. Or perhaps, do both.

Oh hell no.
