This is pretty hypocritical. If those same teens were mostly voting for Republicans, you wouldn’t be complaining. You’d be praising their youthful insight.

That’s not to mention how arrogant it is to belittle the votes of young people by making broad generalizations and judgments about said youth’s ability to make intelligent decisions. And what’s this absurd idea that young adults who haven’t joined the military have as much right to vote as a dog?

I wonder what you’d think if DailyKos posted an article saying that only seniors vote for Republicans, and suggested that young people were the only voters that count, because they’ve been exposed to less right-wing propaganda.

(I’m assuming that this article wasn’t a joke. Forgive me if I missed the point.)
