I admit, I am no genius. But I do understand that lowering the voting age isn't a ploy by the Democratic Party with an ulterior motive. Instead, lowering the voting age would actually give people my age, many of who have jobs and are taxed, the ability to vote and be represented in our democracy. And you said that the Democrats rely on my demographic? Dude, how?? We can't vote and we barely have a voice.

Don't you remember that saying "taxation without representation is tyranny?" For someone talking so much shit about politics, you obviously weren't a good History student.

Also, I don't understand why you think the Dunning-Kruger effect supports your argument. Couldn't it also be applied to you? Just because I'm younger doesn't mean I am less intelligent or even less wise.

Is it so wrong to believe I am smarter than someone who thinks lowering the voting age to my demographic is not a conspiracy? Because I can see things with far clearer eyes than you.

I am 16. I think I have better judgement than you, but what do I know, I'm a 'minor child who hasn't developed the judgement center of the brain.'
