California has a ballot measure to allow 17 year olds to vote.

https://ballotpedia.org/California_P...endment_(2020)

Hope it passes. Hope it spreads to other states. Most teens don’t vote, but I’d rather have 17 year olds given the chance to move the country forward rather than almost anyone over 80.

That’s probably ageist of me, but seniors tend to be conservative, religious, and as a consequence anti-choice, anti-civil rights, and generally not in the liberal progressive camp - even though most won’t live to see the consequences of their votes.
