GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy wants to raise voting age to 25

Anonymous
No taxation without representation. If citizens 18-25 are banned from voting then they should be exempt from taxes and any laws that restrict their rights.

No, no, no you’ve got that backwards. GOP goons like this nobody want to inflict pain on young people for the crime of not liking the GOP. They’d figure out a way to tax them at multiple levels just for existing between 18-25.

Even Richard Nixon had better sense than this fool. Nixon didn’t say out loud that he wanted to disenfranchise all young people. Instead, he ginned up the war on drugs for the right-wing police state to target enforcement against young activists in the civil rights, anti-war, and other anti-establishment movements.

I know it’s across the border from Kentucky but it just strikes me as wrong that he is from ohio but sounds Southern


God no! I am from Cincy and no one but trash has a southern accent there. Assuming he is trash.

Perfect.
No selective service registrations until 25.


I wasn't in the selective service. I'm exempt due to sex. The people we send to war these days are volunteers. However, if they use the service of people under 25 to fight wars, people under 25 should also be part of the process to select officials.

And, senators who have been to war are less likely to vote for war, while voters who are war veterans are also less likely to vote for hawkish candidates. So we can literally save lives by having more veterans in the process.


The military is 73% male, so you’re effectively saying that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Also, people get rejected from attempting to join for reasons outside their control.

The day when Republican voters figure out they’re the mark will never come, but the rest of us know.

They are probably busy trying to figure out how they can take away women's votes also.

No. It's the opposite. They go for abortion bans or six week bans like this fool. Talk about wanting to significantly increase participation by women voters...that is how to do it. Bye bye Vivek and all the other forced birthers!

“Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said he wants to raise the voting age from 18 to 25 for anyone who is not in public service or can’t pass a basic civics test.”

I agree. Young people today don’t know what’s good for them. No firearms, credit cards, student loans, marriage, mortgages or childrearing until age 25 either.


No anyone in public service should take and pass a basic civics test. Look at all the republicans elected officials. You think any of them would pass?

Vivek isn't MAGA. He isn't America First. He's a tech-pharma-venture-capital guy who loves Quantitative Easing/cheap capital, outsourcing, HXXx1B driven wage suppression, and the selling off of America's industrial might.
