Many young voters are too immature and misinformed. Should be at least 21...probably more like 25 though.

Sadly, after reading my Facebook and Twitter feeds tonight, I have to somewhat agree. I am 18 and I am educated enough to make a sound decision, and many of my other friends across both parties did too, but there are far too many hateful comments being thrown around just because some 18 year old "identifies" as one party over another.

What's with the bashing? He has a point. Alot of you don't have Facebook/Twitter/Social lifes in general, you wouldn't understand his frustration. Many 18 year olds are so clueless about why they would vote for someone. It's been nothing but ignorance on Facebook today. I heard one guy say he wasn't going to vote for Romney because he looks like the devil...I mean how can some of you NOT see the picture here?

I agree. But I would say 30.

Not everyone will know anything about economics and the world once they graduate high school.

Once a person lives in the real world on their own for a long while, then I feel they can properly vote.

And some older members of society wouldn't vote for Obama because he's "black, Arab, Muslim, Communist etc." You point?

I'm not generalizing Republicans, I'm just simply stating that both age brackets have pig-ignorant people and not restricted to the younger generations.

No, instead of twitter, they plaster their lawns with stupid signs like "Defend freedom, defeat Obama". Ignorance isn't age related.

Yet they take their ignorance to the voting ballot just like the young "Democrats" you've described also bringing their ignorance to the voting ballot.

What's the difference? That the ignorance is in favour of your political party? Is that what makes it okay for you?

Who's talking about Democrats? These 18 year olds who voted today couldn't tell you the difference between a Democrat and a banana.

No. It's equally bad. It's empty rhetoric into trying to scare people to vote for Romney.
