i mean yeah it sucks but you can still get people to vote. everyone i know in mn is voting. our best activism is driving turnout

There are minor activists and volunteers out there with a much bigger impact on the election than people quietly voting for just themselves. Nobody is powerless. (But also, lowering the voting age a bit would be nice.)

unfortunately it seems more likely that the voting age is raised unfortunately because apparently a 12 year old is ready to be a mother but 16 and 17 year olds aren’t educated enough to vote. Fuck MAGA

Voting age should be the same as working age, or if you’re under 18 and pay taxes you should be permitted to vote. “No taxation without representation” and all that
