Eating Tide pods, snorting condoms, burning themselves with salt and ice & most importantly, haven't faced any of life's challenges yet. They have lead mostly a life of being lead by others - but we want these children to vote!! They are the smartest! Oh, and we just noticed that when the kids mass on Instagram and Twitter, and make demands, and others FORBIDDEN to reply or tell them they're wrong - then they know they will make for good little voters and blind little agenda helpers.

Celebrities Endorse Lowering Voting Age to 16
WASHINGTON – Entertainers visiting the nation’s capital expressed support for lowering the voting age from 18 to 16.
“I do. I haven’t given it a lot of thought except that it’s obviously in all of our minds since the Parkland incident and seeing how involved and how socially conscious those kids are. And in campaigning around the country in the last election, a lot of young people under the voting age were out working for their candidates, whoever they were,” said actor Richard Schiff from The West Wing and Ballers during an interview with PJM at the Creative Coalition’s “#RightToBearArts Gala” on April 27.
“The age doesn’t matter to me. I’ve met 16-year-olds that are much smarter than me and yeah, they should vote, you know,” he added.
The District of Columbia City Council is currently considering a proposal to lower the legal voting age to 16.
Schiff, 62, said lowering the voting age would have to occur “side-to-side” with more civics education in public schools.
“We have to put civics back in our education so these kids are learning about the process of government and politics outside of school. Maybe in Parkland it’s different, but we have to get civics back and whenever anyone is qualified to vote they should vote,” he said. “But we’ve got to teach our kids what the Constitution means, how the process of elections work and why gerrymandering is a problem.”
