We let adults decide in 2016 and they fucked it up, so giving kids a chance makes sense.

My daughter’s high school held a mock election today. Trump won 52-48. She is in stunned disbelief like I remember being in 2016. :(

This makes me sad.

How big is the highschool? I know my old one would be Republican as I was a paria for saying we shouldn't ban burning the American flag in protest.

About 650 students. The school covers a good range of rural- to mid-density areas, maybe a little heavier on the rural side.

Ahh ok that makes sense, I had mix of rural and suburban with about 2500 students but we are also close to an air force base.

we had those in school too. 1976-84, and they weren't even close: carter. carter. mondale.

Are children voting FOR toothpaste, or are they voting WITH toothpaste?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

only in dentists dreams do children vote for toothpaste

[–] [email protected] 1 points 41 minutes ago

I guess most will vote against but we will see

I liked the taste of toothpaste and I liked brushing my teeth. Having an unclean mouth is gross, and I thought that even as a child.

I am autistic, though, which means my experience might not be typical.
