not quite sure if this is the right forum, sorry
what is the point of this whole youth voting movement? if the kids of age are oblivious to the election to begin with, what makes them think that once they register to vote, kids will take the time to find out any of the political info that would make them smart voters?so, what does anyone really gain from ignorant voters? they dont really care, so theyre going to vote for whichever canidate they find superficially better, so what is the point of encouraging kids to vote when those who care planned to anyway? |

um...i think this should be in debate..right?
anyhoo...i think the same as you. i mean, most kids will vote for who their friends vote for, and they'll juss vote for whoever they want. or whoever they think they want to make fun of more. so i think it'd be really stupid for kids to vote, and they set the age level right. |
