Ins't it like 7-8 pages? It a what? 10-12 minute read at most?

It’s not a lack of self awareness. They’ve all just taken the money bag. Look at their texts on Trump. They know they are lying to morons.

She said it herself, Democrats can read, something she clearly can't. Her tweeting? Probably a intern that have to write it for her.

Oddly enough, people my age (71) had an issue with being old enough to be drafted for Vietnam but not old enough to vote.

The GOP have proven that they don't care about the constitution. They want to rewrite it in their image... And the image is grotesque...

Exactly why she thinks it needs to be interpreted.

There's always a tweet. If only their followers cared about hypocrisy, let alone sanity, humanity, or self-preservation.

Those tweets are consistent. The top tweet means normal people read what's actually in it, while the right reads what they want in it.

Real talk it should be anyone working OR over the age of 18. If you have a job you pay taxes you should have a say in how they spend them.
sirpetethegreat
Anyone who has to file taxes, has ever given birth, has parent/custodian rights, or (not and) over 18 should be able to vote

Yes even better.

16 year old gets their first job? They get to vote. Their sibling doesn't get a job till 19 they get to vote at 18. It's simple.

Not smart enough to interpret it? What did she think it was, loosely as the Holy Bible?

The Bible wasn't designed to be interpeted either. The reason why they do it is the same reason they want to interpret the constitution.

To be specific, it's because they want both to say something else.

robertkelley5
True. If the youth were showing a strong red lean, they'd be trying to get 16 year olds to vote.
SirSmurfalot
The younger generations are far less likely to be conservative, so they are looking for reasons to restrict the vote like they do by race.

Nope. Even people living in poverty get "more conservative" when they get older. Reason is: people stick to the values they grew up with.

laserfork
I don't believe this is true. People don't get more or less conservative. Subsequent generations are just more progressive/left-leaning.
Targe0
They become more economically progressive, as they normally have more to lose to changing economic issues. This is a well documented thing->
Targe0
Because as people get older, their priorities in life change, and this leads to political views shifting because of those priorities. ->
