Any idea which direction most 14-17 year olds in Texas would be likely to
vote?
In urban Canada, I and most of my peers were at the extreme left-wing end of
the spectrum at that age. In retrospect, it was greed rather than altruism;
we were have-nots who wanted the haves to give us stuff. It was also wanting
to be able to dictate to others what to think and how to behave - like us,
the know-it-all kids, of course.
Any thoughts on how this would skew elections at the federal level, if
implemented nation-wide?
