Liberalism (Modern)

Agree

Yes

Modern liberalism generally supports expanding voting rights and increasing political participation. Lowering the voting age could be seen as a way to engage younger citizens in the political process and ensure their voices are heard. However, there is not a strong consensus among liberals on this issue, as some may argue that younger individuals may not have the necessary knowledge or experience to make informed decisions.

Agree

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

Modern liberalism supports expanding voting rights, and the idea of allowing any tax-paying citizen to vote aligns with this principle. However, this answer does not directly address the issue of lowering the voting age, and some liberals may argue that other factors, such as education and civic engagement, should also be considered when determining eligibility to vote.

Neutral

No

Modern liberalism does not have a strong stance on maintaining the current voting age. Some liberals may argue that the current voting age is appropriate, while others may advocate for lowering it. The score is neutral because there is no clear consensus within the ideology.

Strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Modern liberalism generally opposes measures that restrict voting rights or make it more difficult for citizens to participate in the political process. Raising the minimum voting age would likely be seen as a step in the wrong direction, as it would exclude a portion of the population from having a say in the democratic process.

Very strongly disagree

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

Modern liberalism strongly opposes measures that restrict voting rights or create barriers to political participation. Requiring voters to pass a test would likely be seen as a form of voter suppression, as it could disproportionately affect certain groups and lead to unequal representation. Historically, literacy tests and other similar requirements have been used to disenfranchise minority voters, which goes against the principles of modern liberalism.
