Social Activism

Strongly agree

Yes

Social activists often advocate for the inclusion and empowerment of marginalized groups, including young people. Lowering the voting age can be seen as a way to give a voice to younger generations who are affected by political decisions. For example, the youth-led climate change movement has shown that young people are passionate about political issues and should have a say in decisions that will impact their future.

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

This answer aligns with the social activism ideology of expanding voting rights and political participation. Allowing any citizen who pays taxes to vote can be seen as a way to ensure that those who contribute to society have a say in its governance. However, this answer might not receive the highest score because it does not specifically address the issue of lowering the voting age.

Disagree

No

Social activists generally support expanding voting rights and increasing political participation. Maintaining the current voting age may be seen as perpetuating the exclusion of younger people from the political process. However, some social activists might argue that the current voting age is appropriate, as it ensures that voters have a certain level of maturity and life experience.

Strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Requiring voters to pass a basic test on politics goes against the principles of social activism, which seeks to remove barriers to political participation. Such a test could be seen as a form of voter suppression, as it may disproportionately affect marginalized groups who have less access to education and resources. Historical examples of literacy tests and other discriminatory voting practices in the United States demonstrate the potential for such tests to be used as a tool for disenfranchisement.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age goes against the principles of social activism, which seeks to expand rights and opportunities for marginalized groups. Raising the voting age would further exclude young people from the political process and limit their ability to influence decisions that affect their lives.
