The 19th has proven to be a huge mistake

Come on. That's a huge WYC. You can't bitch that old voters are ruining America and then say you want an 80-year-old president. It just doesn't make sense.

That's not a WYC. We're going to have an 80 year old president in 2020 one way or another. Do you see any young candidate that has a legitimate chance at beating Bernie and Biden or the president?

We may even have an embalmed Speaker of the House in 7 months.

GO BEARS!!!

its been a while since i had looked at this but i think at one point, you could of made the argument that a 16 yr old shoudl be able to vote. before world war 2, i believe we expected more of our children around the age of 13-14. many began working and living real lives to support the family. I think after or during the 40's we literally invented the teenager in practice. we began to push a narrative that 13-18 yr olds are still somewhat children and need to focus on education and not having to work and support families. And over time i feel like we as a society have slowly eroded the maturity of teenagers (maybe rightly so). I think overall this has been good for society but i also think its gone too far. and because of that it has led to some stipulations such as not getting the ability to vote.

I think that's more neurology than narrative.

Drive? Vote?

Everyone should take a test to vote like driving. Can vote at any age as long as you pass the test.

This was done to disenfranchise black voters in the South for years.

_________________

I know, but I mean an actual standard test for all with actual answers.


Those tests were purposely confusing and designed to eliminate people. My tests would be aimed at just having a minimum amount of knowledge every voter should have.


Not

Pick the best number

A,B, or C

Write and administer your test to this board. It would be a fun experiment.

The thing about rights (such as voting, free speech, gun ownership) is that they are supposed granted to you without having to provide qualification.

So that's a no on having to take a test to qualify for the right to vote, even if it would give us a better electorate. A dumbass electorate is one of the prices we pay for liberty.

Yeah negative rights cannot be deprived or modified by another entity. They are intrinsic to Americans.
