How do you get young people to vote?
Simple. Put decriminalization/legalization of marijuana on your ticket.
Am I wrong or would that make young voter turnout be an all time high (no pun intended).
Decriminalization would defineatly be the safer stance to take on the issue, I think it would get lots and lots of kids to vote. Maybe it's just where I live, but it seems to me that more and more kids are smoking trees these days. You would however likely lose religous votes and (in strictly my opinion) the ignorant parent vote. However I think lots of parents would also like this, because it puts there children at much less risk of being aressted.
Note that I don't want this thread to be about the pros and cons of pot itself, thats been done to death on tfp. I want it about the pros/cons it would have on a presidential platform.
