It should stay the same. At 18 you can get drafted, work full time, serve in the military, pay taxes, etc. Of course those egg heads in the socialist party (communist or whatever they call themselves) wants the voting age lowered. They don't work OR pay taxes! Side: 15-20 years (please specify)

What if we changed the age to do those things to 21? Then would you want the voting age to be 21? Why should the voting age be the same as working and serving in the military anyways? You can't buy alcohol if your under 21 or buy weed (where it is legal). I guarantee if the voting age already was 21 and for a long time, you would be saying 21 as the best voting age, which isn't the basis for the question here. Side: 15-20 years (please specify)
"What if we changed the age to do those things to 21? Then would you want the voting age to be 21?" Yes. If you pay taxes and can serve in the military at the minimum age of 21 then the voting age should be at 21. "Why should the voting age be the same as working and serving in the military anyways? You can't buy alcohol if your under 21 or buy weed (where it is legal)." That's not the point. The point is and has been since Vietnam is that if a President can send you to war, then you should be able to vote for that President. "I guarantee if the voting age already was 21 and for a long time, you would be saying 21 as the best voting age, which isn't the basis for the question here." You can guarantee all you like. I always believe that if you pay taxes and can be drafted (if it ever happens again), then you should be able to vote. Side: 15-20 years (please specify)
