"but they can't read!" not a test to vote "But they don't UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES" not a test to vote. Even the most educated adults don't understand all issues anyway I don't care if they vote on ice cream policy (issue priority is not a test to vote). Let kids vote.

"they don't pay taxes" they pay sales tax but also that's not a test to vote "but how young is too young?" Probably around age 1 or 2, since before that they can't really meaningfully indicate preference I won't even say "needs to be able to hold a pencil" because again - that's not a test to vote

"their brains aren't developed!" We let people with severe dementia vote "They don't have experience" there is no competency test to vote "They can be influenced and manupulated" um "They'll just do what their parents say" yes because kids famously always do that

I really have yet to hear a compelling argument that kids of any age shouldn't be able to vote, that couldn't also apply to adults

I never expected that one positive feedback loop for climate denial would become more hurricanes --> more evidence THEY control the weather Instead of what's actually happening, which is the oil industry making the biosphere less able to support human life

Kids in the townhouse are playing dinosaurs and they are arguing over who gets to be the "blue" raptor, and who is the indominus Rex. Thanks for nothing jurassic world
