youth voting Options

[*tweeak*]

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?

I think the whole movement shouldn't just be about encouraging the youth to vote, but to encourage them to educate themselves and learn enough about the candidtates and the issues so that they CAN make an informed decision and then vote.

I agree. In fact, we should encourage people of all ages to educate themselves about presidential candidates and the general idea of politics. Being an "adult" doesn't necessarily mean you make the right decisions. A lot of people are voting solely for loyalty reasons or for some stupid superficial reasons, as my_papaya pointed out.
There could be a lot more young people who know about politics than there are adults who know. Because after all, there are much more educated children there are now than there were 30 years ago.
