Insofar as the person’s exercise of a right affects others, the attainment of that right should be delayed. If a person enters into a bad contract, it may only affect him. Voting affects the whole society. This is why boys historically had to fight for their civilization before being allowed to influence its governance. Going to war is a grave responsibility, but helping determine if your nation will go to war — which could bring its salvation or destruction — is a graver one still.

In ancient Athens, the birthplace of democracy, only about 10 percent of the population voted. Now our traitor class, no small group, wants everyone to cast ballots, from the immature to the senile to felons to illegal aliens. The idea is that broad participation makes our republic better, which makes as much sense as fancying that air travel will be better if everyone gets a chance to take the cockpit controls. In either case, it’s a recipe for crashing and burning

There was a 2017 campaign in which liberals were “calling for 18- and 19-year-olds and even people in their 20s to be [criminally] charged as children, on the theory that their brains are not fully developed,” as American Thinker’s Ed Straker put it at the time.

@kenofken9458 There has NEVER been a "democracy" in the history of the world. It's never been "majority" rules. There is republic. The law.

Who do elected representatives represent? They don't represent the largest voting block, those who don't vote. They don't represent the 49% who didn't vote for them. So if the overwhelming majority didn't vote for them then the "elected" represent no one.

@toddmorningstar4206 I'm saying the right to vote has never been considered God given, but a privilege that can be taken away.

Nonetheless, people who normally infantilize the young — wanting them to stay on their parents’ insurance till age 26, for instance — apparently believe they achieve situational maturity upon entering a voting booth.

@Tanner They achieve adulthood at 18.
