    Who would the youth vote for? Neither party has any intention of representing their best interests. And the democrats will insure only a candidate that represents the elites, big banks and MNCs will be offered up. We saw what the democrats did to sanders.

    Of course, this is an anti trump ad, and not about the DP representing the youth, nor the hispanic americans nor black americans.

    One wonders if the youth are smart enough to realize this? It would help the dems, if they are not.

    I doubt that they are.

    WEll, I suppose they could also look at republicans and see too many nazi, white nationalist and misogynistic candidates.

    I wonder if those "yutes" are smart enough to realize this. It would definitely help the dems if they do.

    Voting is important to a democratic society.

    That being said, when people say they don't vote because they feel it doesn't matter or that the people they see aren't interested in serving them, I can't say they're entirely wrong.

    Getting our young people more involved in the process has been a goal for a long time. They are extremely vocal in their opinions but when it comes time to actually get up and go to the polls they just seem to busy to bother. it is why neither party caters to them, youthful voters are not reliable.

    The primaries of 2016 showed that, for democrats, voting has no bearing whatsoever on who the nominee would be. If you're a democrat, your vote doesn't matter. Your leaders have chosen their successors for you. You will be given a short list, of which only the chosen one will receive any support from the party. The others are only there to give you the illusion of choice. If any one other than the chosen one gets too close, he will be sandbagged and/or paid off. Kabuki theater at its best.

    So yeah, democrats, you might as well stay home.

    One of the nice things about America is that we don't force people to vote. Some people shouldn't vote because they are ignorant of what they are voting for. There is nothing wrong with ignoring politics as long as you then don't go and Vote uninformed. Let the people who pay Attention to politics Pick the teams.

    That is because the democrats sell their nomination to the highest bidder. Their sheeple are totally cool with it to.

    What's pathetic is that you think an OP fantasizing about what to do with "unconstitutional liberals" is not a disgusting bigoted, fascist wet dream.

    But I get how some people think only their opinion is valid regardless of how biased, ill informed it might be and anyone else is to be oppressed.

    Patrick Little, Paul Nehlan, Arthur Jones. Proudly representing the republican party.

    Thats evidence the voting age is too low. Would you want an 18 year old as President? No way. Then why do we let 18 year old children vote? Not because they are mature, but because the Democrats can manipulate them.

    So my son can take a bullet for his country but he cannot vote for the people sending him to get shot at? No I dont like that idea at all. If we can trust a 18 year old with a tank we can trust them to vote.

    Oh? So I guess guys like Patrick Little aren't jew hating white nationalist scumbags?

    Your response is such a false one that I would wonder if it was a joke, except I realize you are serious.

    I mean if we are going to restrict the franchise based on age, then we should really go the other direction. Make it when you take Social Security, no voting for you.

    The voting age was lowered during the Vietnam war. The argument was that if you were old enough to be conscripted and sent overseas to die for your country you were old enough to vote.

    It makes a certain sort of sense.

    Oh please. There's plenty of old dumb people who vote already. The average 18 year old probably would do a better job than the dirty old man going on 8 years old we have now. Democratic republics are all about smart people representing special interests manipulating average people.

    I don't know about sense, but it's certainly just.

    no longer relevant, the draft ended decades ago, they now volunteer to be shot at, that said, it should be changed to anyone in the armed forces, regardless of age, can vote, while others have to wait until age 25, because according to california law (just passed) courts must give special consideration to young criminals, up to the age of 25, because their brains haven't developed enough to distinguish right from wrong... this is fact, look it up...

    The draft may have ended, but Selective Service requirements have not.

    No. I meant to imply that the notion that she was not elected based on popular support is inaccurate.

    I will explicitly tell you that she was the best and brightest that the democrats had to offer. Unfortunately, ~70,000 more across three states decided to elect a whiny bitch of a snowflake that is also a ****ing moron.

    So, what does it say that a "whiny bitch of a ****ing moron", and a rank political amateur I might add, so roundly beat the "best and brightest" the democrats had to offer?

    Lemme guess: RUSSIANS! lol
