Democrats Push to Lower Voting Age to 16

To repeat myself:
I generally don't hold a faction's lunatic fringe against it.
All factions have them.
But the problem with the contemporary Dems is that the fringe has become the center.
And/or: the fringe now sets the agenda, and the center is afraid to stand up to it.
I expect most Dems will oppose this.
But the Democrats have radicalized.
Therefore they have become very, very dangerous.
This is the kind of idea that I fear they'll just keep pushing, knowing that some day, under some particular conditions, they'll win.
And then they'll never lose again.
Because progressivism is a view for children.
And, hey: they think that children are capable of choosing to be chemically castrated and sexually mutilated...so why shouldn't they be able to vote?
Equity demands it!
Some of them also think that noncitizens should be able to vote--and noncitizen voting is already a thing in some local elections (e.g. in Maryland, I think.)
And, of course, some on the left argue that everyone in the entire world should be able to vote in American elections, on the grounds that America's actions affect everyone...
Leftism is basically what you'd get if you took wasted 2:00 a.m. dorm arguments among sophomore liberal arts majors seriously.
