Makes sense: dead people have been voting for years. It's only fair extremely young people can vote too. Why stop at 17? Pre-birth?

Since 2020 elections in America are a joke. The Demonrats tried to put the fix in on the 2016 election, but they didn't print enough fake ballots. No wonder Hillary was angry on election night. She thought it was in the bag. But the Ds got their act together in 2020, which should have been a Trump landslide, and they refined their fraud in 2022.

Looking back on it, I can see that politics in America has been nothing but corruption and fraud since the days of George H. W. Bush. But in spite of the fraud, before 2020 the people had a chance of electing their candidate if they turned out in large enough numbers. But with the Covid lockdowns and the institution of mail-in voting, that is no longer the case. The Deep State can just keep printing the ballots for as long as it needs to print them -- weeks, if necessary -- until it "wins." It's a fucking crime that victory was stolen away from Kari Lake and Hershall Walker and others, who deserved to win, and did win as far as actual votes are concerned.

Pre-birth voting is already happening. Voters not born yet are imaginary, and a significant portion of the votes counted have also been imaginary.

The mental gymnastics:

lowering the voting age would help young people build a habit of voting and make them more likely to continue being politically engaged later in life.

We don't apply a maturity index to the right to vote for any other age

Having the opportunity to vote is what gives our 16- and 17-year-olds a chance to engage meaningfully.

Ah ha. What it does, is give meaningful ways to cheat on outcomes that can be easily hidden.

it's unfair that teenagers can have adult responsibilities and play active roles in society but don't have a say in public life

Life is intrinsically unfair.

Young people are working, paying taxes, ... When it comes to making a decision as to who's going to represent them, that has been denied to them."

There's a reason young people can't vote: their minds are easily fooled. Adult minds are bad enough. But this has nothing to do with keeping society running, but keeping criminals in control.
