I would contend that it's sufficient for the purpose of voting.
America's voters are already ignorant and naive as it is. Giving access to kiddies would only make it worse.

People like to condemn. While I would not have supported Trump's presidential run, you did. I certainly don't hold that against you, and I can only really speak for myself here. And while Trump won with your support, it was the support of a country and the location of that support which got him elected. Now he is our president regardless. Not seeing how your voting was dangerous or risky. You lent your support where you believed it was necessary, just as we all do.Liberals have told me otherwise regarding my vote for Trump.
Let us nail this down. What positions do you think 16 year olds have that are unreasonable, and ill-thought?What I'll actually tell you is that young'ns have not matured regarding
the connection between today's actions & tomorrow's consequences.
Life experience & brain development improve that situation.
So 21 years old strikes me as much more reasonable than 16.
I never supported his run.People like to condemn. While I would not have supported Trump's presidential run, you did.
You and these high risk situations. Voting is not a high risk dangerous activity. You had no gun pointed at you. You were not in fear for your life. Voting is by definition support.I never supported his run.
I'd have preferred someone else.
But looking at my ballot, he was just the lesser
of the 2 evils with a possibility of winning.
If a robber says....
"Your money or your life!"
Handing over your money doesn't mean that
you support giving money away to crooks.
It means you support not dying over money.
The emotion of fear in one individual is not a good measure of danger.You and these high risk situations. Voting is not a high risk dangerous activity. You had no gun pointed at you. You were not in fear for your life. Voting is by definition support.
So can 14 year olds.16 year olds can make a choice to support something they believe in or not.
It is a good measure for duress.The emotion of fear in one individual is not a good measure of danger.
I have already addressed this argument in my back and forth with @Shadow Wolf, feel free to read that exchange.So can 14 year olds.
Would you let them vote?
12 year olds?
