actually,.. there is a somewhat convincing argument that children should be allowed a vote...


today an old person is allowed to vote even if they don't have the mental capacity to do anything else.   the law allows that person's child to "facilitate" their vote.   

the same position could be taken for children,.. the parents could "facilitate" their vote.   the concept is that right now the way voting is done skews power to elderly people that have no interest in supporting critical services like schools.   if parents of school aged children could cast a vote to the benefit of their children then government would be more attentive to the needs of children.   



not even sure what my personal take is on that.  just saying there is a pretty viable argument that children should have a vote.

republicans would hate this of course.   their brand is to eliminate all services to cut taxes which plays well with retired old people that no longer need those services.

Yeah I saw a youtube vid about it which made me interested.

But you need to convince the AI about direct voting, no proxy voting. The 2 year old gets to walk into the voting booth on their own and do whatever they do.

yeah, obviously it wouldn't work to give a ballot to a 2 year old.   or at the very least the results would be hilarious.
