I wasn't really talking about racism. I was talking about demographics and party affiliation. Most NRA middle-aged white males are Republican.
It's no secret that college-aged adults skew Democrat, so I figured why bother with the pretense? Just go with the age-gerrymandering jackpot.Younger Voters Are Also Leaning to the Democratic Party

Why didn't you say 25 then? Most people who aren't mentally retarded know the difference between right and wrong before they're 25, or "mentally mature." And who's to say who's more "responsible" than anyone else? You? The President? Congress? Who? And there are tons of people of ALL ages that are irresponsible. Take Pizza Boy: something like 40 years old and lives on his parents' dime. Is he someone you think should be allowed to vote because he's over 21, or he shouldn't because he's irresponsible? What about some 100-year-old who doesn't know what year it is? Should there be an age maximum, too? By most measures, kids are learning things earlier than before, so one could argue that 18-year-olds are more aware about things than previous generations.JdPat04 wrote:FuckESPNdotCOM wrote:JdPat04 wrote:I gave a more reasoned response than “RACIST REPUBLICAN” that you spewed.

Can you dispute anything I said in why I support it?
Zero to do with who is voting for who. It’s actually just about trying making sure people are a bit more responsible with serious things such as drinking, drugs, war, and voting.
Also when you bring race up it’s about race.

As I said, your whole argument is an arbitrary age. Considering it's also the legal drinking age and people may be more inclined to go temporarily insane at that age, your voting age increase cuts out the sober "responsible" or aware people under 21. Is that really an improvement?
I'd argue that proponents of non-prescription or non-medical drugs are irresponsible.
Burden of proof is on you, bro. You're the one talking about changing the status quo. Same with the state prosecuting a defendant: the defendant is innocent (default) until proven guilty by the state, who has the burden of proof to change the minds of the jurors.Also when you bring race up it’s about race.
Hence the "really." I also brought up the NRA and an age range, both of which are more disciminatory than race.

If its 18 require an aptitude test if they do not know communism from facism and cannot pass a small history test that diacusses such extremes dont let them vote
But if you raise voting age they are gonna have to raise military enlistment age and tobbacco and alcohol too

You could enlist in the military but those jobs wouldn’t be in combat.
Other than that raising the age on it all seems like a good idea to me.
