So what? It's all about the work they want to do not their age.
ehoba666
Literally anything, included a puddle of sick, would be better than Sam Brownback

"respects the magnitude of the office", IF ONLY something was in place for the Presidency...
Dogebert
If they want to win then all they have to do is promise an ice town
tortugera
1+ for not making this up.
YesImAGuyThatCooks
And as their first executive order, tide pods for everyone.
PokeyPokey
And those delicious cotton candy in the attic.
PrettyPinkFlamethrower
Literally cannot fuck it up worse than our current governor
n0th1n
I'm not sure I understand why this is a problem. Seems you still need to be 18 to vote there, and they aren't the only options.

MAKE ICETOWN HAPPEN
DiabeticRapunzel
You guys are gonna have your own Ice Town
VenDei
I'd be OK with a rubber duck running, because it still would need a majority of morons to vote for it to win.
thedarklord187
That's not how you use this meme....
PokeyPokey
I found a loophole and I used it :)
evilspock
Pity. They’ll split the youth vote. Shoulda picked one.
twozerooz
They're all under one trench coat so they only count as one candidate
Crowlands
I'd vote for a sentient talking spoon if it was arguing for good policy. What's their positions?
iamthisguy247
Hop in loser, we're running for Governor.
asmallcat
Holy fuck look at the 4th guy down. If you asked me to imagine "teen republican running for governor" I would imagine that dude.
rvt2
How is this a loophole?
PokeyPokey
My take on it: it's a loophole in the system when you consider that you have to be 18 to vote but can run for gov as a teen. I may be wrong.
yetan
Good?
ObliqueRay
And it's a surprise to you that any moron can run for office?
idpassr
If it's how the law is written, it's not a loophole.
PokeyPokey
No law exists today but they are trying to pass a bill. Is it a loophole when you must be 18 to vote but can run for gov as a teen?
idpassr
If no law exists, there cannot be a 'loophole in Kansas law'.
Fpt04
No, that's just two different pieces of legislation.
Moonadon
the fuck sort of link is that?
PokeyPokey
The most flexible link eveeeeerrrr --- ok jk, I didn't want to pick a specific url - that's it, no other intentions :)
TheGiggityGuy
It would be good to have some younger people in government. Why let the old people be in charge?
klj126
If the younger generations voted as much as the boomers that wouldn't matter as much as they would represent us
ThailandExpress
asmallcat
Yeah. I don't want teens, but I'm pretty sick of the "I won't be around when I ruin the planet, get what I can now" crowd.
Bunts
Well, they are doing it as advocates for education funding. So I'm not mad about it.
nonamejanie
Yes! I hope one of those smart fucks win
ClassyReposts
If 6 teens find a loophole in state law, they might actually be better at this than the guys who should have 50 years more experience.
Knightendae
They just might do a better job.
littledebbycakes88
As a Kansan, I'm proud of these kids.
PleasantPeasantPheasant
But are you going to vote for them?
ArcaneConjecture
Not the Libertarian kid. Like all Libertarian kids, he's against investing more in education.
ExaDeuce
Ayn Rand Libertarianism: " Would the world be better off if everyone was an asshole? Yes. Read this book, SHEEPLE."

I heard about them on a podcast earlier. They sound pretty down to earth. Good for them.
enzieLUL
It's gonna be Ice Town all over again. . .
IronicallyExisting
I wish there was a favorite thing for comments.
SPCNewbie
From what I read that would be an improvement on the current gov. I live in TX but grew up in KS

Yeah but they will have an awesome winter sports center.

I scrolled down specifically to find this reference.
JeffTeck
"Loophole"? Or just, like, the lack of a law.
PokeyPokey
Both maybe??? My take on it: it's a loophole in the system when you consider that you have to be 18 to vote but can run for gov as a teen.
JeffTeck
that said, i think i agree
FirstThingThatCameToMind
And they're immediately trying to sign a law to stop them. should it be allowed to sign laws to make your competition unable to be elected?
Karlkingofduckss
Shit that’s a good question
dinoleader
The articles said the law wouldn't go into effect till Jan 1 next year after this years cycle so as not to affect this election cycle
mrx600531
Random teens are better than some Alt-right guy who thinks the holocaust never happened.
RdizzyC
Hilariously, one of the main guys Roy Moore was citing as an "expert" that voter fraud was the reason he lost is also a nazi/holocaust denie
SmolTenk
what? who?
asmallcat
I think he's conflating this with the guy in Illinois https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/07/us/nazi-congress-illinois.html
mrx600531
I was, thanks.
Jousis
I hate Illinois nazis.
SmolTenk
ah, thanks

From California, still pretty damn funny

The only thing creepier about the Gadsden Mall than Roy Moore is the Dead Sea salt guy by the food court who tries to touch your hands.
Seethreepeeoh
I was once stuck in a tiny regional airport terminal with touchy feely dead sea salt guy and a delayed flight [sobbing]
PickleRiiiiiiiiiiiiick
I guaran-fucking-tee any of them would be better than Brownstain.
MaelinStarpyre
They would be better than sebellius, Brownback, Pompeii, any of them
obelisksarecool
Hate that guy
PickleRiiiiiiiiiiiiick
When I moved back here a few years ago, I had hoped Sebelius was still in power. I was very disappointed.
SPCNewbie
I grew up there and when i heard what was happening when i lived in TN and TX I was sadden.

I'm in Canada and I still know to refer to your state as "Brownbackistan" due to how much he screwed it up.
PickleRiiiiiiiiiiiiick
It's un-fucking-believable isn't it?! Like, how do you fuck up so bad that schools can't open, because you forgot to fucking pay teachers?!

I've noticed a direct correlation between Politicians who idolize "Atlas Shrugged" and a complete inability to govern effectively.
