What do you think? Personally I’m all for it. I think it’s important to have as many young people involved in politics to counteract the old majority.

    Ah yes, let a language model decide politics, and ignore a few percent of potential voting power. I’d laugh if I didn’t suspect you were serious.

      The first part isn’t serious you’re right. The rest of it is. I don’t thing it would make a big different to lower the voting age in the outcome. And i don’t think it is a good idea, i remember my first voting i had no idea what to vote so i have vote “the lesser worst option” that i know to that time. It has to change more than the voting age in this system to work properly again…

        My situation was the same as yours, but I think it would have been like that no matter what age. I’m not sure it’s a good idea either, but fact is there are kids who’re politically active and can’t vote, and that seems a little silly. Democracy’s whole thing is that it doesn’t exclude.
