Yes, lower it to 16, but people between 16 and 18 must pass a test to see if they really understand politics.

 @942PHC6answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, with the climate crisis approaching, it is important for young people to be able to decide over their future.

 @8VWBH79answered…3yrs3Y

I'm real tired of boomers electing terrible people for office, the minimum voting age should be lowered for sure.

 @8VGTF7Ranswered…4yrs4Y

No one should have authority over another, even by vote. Raising or lowering the age doesn't make it any better.

 @8SZ6T74answered…4yrs4Y

No, only if there is a referendum

 @8SF5BMPanswered…4yrs4Y

No, but allow people aged 16 to vote if there is a Referendum.

 @8NW7HGCanswered…4yrs4Y

Voting is giving consent to be ruled

Porn stars launch campaign against Project 2025 targeting swing states

Concerned with provisions of Project 2025 that could criminalize pornography, a group of porn stars is jumping into the 2024 election, launching “Hands Off My Porn” and purchasing $100,000 in ads in swing states to spread their message. “We must fight back against this ultra-conservative agenda that is rooted in religious conservatism, fearmongering, and the suppression of women’s rights,” Casey Calvert, one of the porn stars involved with the effort, wrote alongside the announcement of the ads. Twenty porn stars came together to found Hands Off My Porn, and they are placing the ads on sites that show explicit content in Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Michigan, warning users about Project 2025’s drive to criminalize porn.The ads will direct people to the Hands Off My Porn website, where they can watch testimonials about Project 2025’s dangers. “This ‘180-day playbook’ for the next Trump Administration puts the anti-porn agenda front and center – on page 5 of this nearly 1000-page document that’s endorsed by The Heritage Foundation, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the Koch Brothers, and hundreds of conservative organizations,” the group writes online.Hands Off My Porn is referencing the foreword written by Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, who calls for pornography to be “outlawed.” “It has no claim to First Amendment protection,” he writes. “Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned…telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.”
