Removal of voting age[edit]

WTF?! Are you crazy?! I get allowing teenagers to vote, but allowing children to vote?!? The average child is not going to be politically informed. At all. They'll probably defer to their parents' opinions, thus causing large families to vote in blocs that give them disproportionate representation.

Yeah, and I can imagine all the 14-yo edgelords from far-right families trying to “be basedTM” by voting for the most pro-Ruzzia and rabidly-homophobic Republicans they can find to win an online argument because they’re mad that they once saw a “dIsReSpEcTfUl” gay US flag once at the coffeeshop on their street. Not to mention the soviet-anthem-blasting ones who’d try and use their new vote to dedicate our country to the glory of Stalin --Goatspeed.
