It seems kind of unfair seeing anyone under 18 has no way to decide the future of their country. Which they have more stake on seeing whatever decision happen while they are under 18 will be there for the rest of their life.

A hundred years ago an argument could have been made for 16-year-olds being allowed to vote. The voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 following the First World War.
Today? Not a chance. High school kids can’t be bothered to read two paragraphs for school, if they can read beyond a forth-grade level, that is. They get all of their information from social media, and are easily influenced by it.
"Fourth-grade level
Haha (sorry, that was too easy)
Yea, it requires an educated populace - even at 18 I had no fucking clue who to vote for, and I knew it at the time.
I was 18 in 2016 and I was a Bernie Bro all the way. No other politician has had a bigger impact on my political leanings and worldview.
Unfortunately that last paragraph describes much of the eligible voting population in the US as well
