This. For all the bad votes young people may cast, I can hardly imagine them doing any worse than the adults have already done. I'm almost 40, and I am bitterly disappointed in my peers.
But let's be honest. The real objection to letting young people vote is that they might vote left-wing. Every other objection is just a dog whistle for that one.
