Voting age

All working people must have the ability to vote, and if 16 is old enough to work it's old enough to vote.

Lowering the voting age might be useful currently, but I'm not sure if it's a good thing if things were different. I mean, look at Zig Forums. Maybe ideally the voting age should actually be higher, so people have at least a possibility of being more informed or experienced.
Also maybe there should be a maximum age.

A lot of 16 year olds are fairly rebellious politically. My parents are fairly conservative but at 16 I was a full blown commie.

training will change them

Whatever happened to leftist support for universal suffrage?

16 year olds shouldn’t be working.

What kind of candy-ass reality do ypu come from?

Didn't you know that before the 1980s, it was common for people to have jobs at 14. Thanks to Reagan's compulsory scholing plan, most "fast food" places won't even hire schoolkids mere months before theor 16th birthday. Then people whine about millennials being "lazy."

Listen. Most kids would rather have a crummy job to get money rather than slave away in school alone. Anyone who has ambitions to go to uni are on another "level."

That's also fine. I'm just saying that the working age and the voting age should be the same, because if you're old enough to be put to work you are old enough to vote. Whether you have a good grasp of politics or economics is irrelevant. The alternative is that we'd have people who work in our society but do not get any say in how it is run, and that's not socialism.

It should be an exam on understanding the basics of social and political processes, not age.
