Let 16-17 year olds vote for politicians who start wars only 18 year olds have to fight and who to add insult to injury won't even have all their rights until they're 21. Rock solid plan.

I guess I could run and just promise them all a PlayStation 5 or an XBOX clear landslide for me.
Why be specific? Promise to “DRAIN THE SWAMP” and “MAGA!”

If you’re vague, you don’t have to really do anything for most people.

At age 15, I had to get a waiver from my High School to let me work.

After that point, I was paying taxes.

Explain to me why anyone paying taxes shouldn't be able to vote.

Go ahead, I'm listening, make it compelling.
 

It will be fine

All civil liberties should be restored is what your saying? Including the right to gun ownership?
Yes. Our justice system should be a closed system. If the penalty for X crime is Y years incarcerated that should be it. People shouldn’t be second class citizens after they serve their time.

Because 99.9% of 15-17 year old kids are basically STUPID where as only 75% of people 18 and older are STUPID.

Lots of extenuating circumstances already apply to minors working. Perhaps they should be exempt from income tax.
