    1 year olds can’t want to because they are only capable of saying mama or hungry. I’m trying to get you to understand their is a minimum amount of understanding one needs to actually participate.

      Okay, suppose I buy your argument that we should restrict people’s rights to do things that they already physically cannot do. It seems pointless and absurd, but let’s say I buy your premise.

      Set the voting age to 3, then.

        3 year olds can use 2-3 word sentences, don’t understand people die (on average) or really most anything other than that they like candy and hate bed time. This is again just giving their parents extra votes. Would you like to argue directly for that position?
