Desperate Democrats Pushing For 16 Year Old 'Right To Vote'

Only the result of public 'education' reflects more evidence of a successful dumbing down of the American psyche more than the absurd antics within the political arena.

With the now non-issue Democratic party begging for someone to believe in their chronic idiocy, they find themselves sinking even deeper into the sea of oblivion and ignorance.

Desperate leftist political predators are now attempting to find support among their most challenging peers, namely other young, inexperienced children who are not capable of critical thinking.

125 Democrats And 1 Republican Vote To Lower Voting Age To 16

A majority of House Democrats on Wednesday voted to lower the federal voting age from 18 to 16.

A number of high-profile Democrats voted in favor of the legislation, including California Reps. Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Maxine Waters and Ted Lieu, Hawaii Rep. and Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley introduced the legislation Tuesday evening as an amendment to House Democrats’ “For The People Act,” which would overhaul federal election laws.

Pressley cited teen activists pushing for gun control as a reason to give 16-year-olds the right to vote, which she compared to having a driver’s license.

“Young people are at the forefront of some of our most existential crises,” she said in her remarks Tuesday.

“The time has come. Our young people deserve to have the opportunity to exercise their right to vote.”
