Social Progressivism

Strongly agree

Yes

Social Progressivism generally supports expanding democratic participation and empowering marginalized groups. Lowering the voting age can be seen as a way to give younger people a voice in the political process. For example, in 1971, the 26th Amendment to the United States Constitution lowered the voting age from 21 to 18, which was supported by progressive movements at the time.

Agree

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

While Social Progressivism supports expanding democratic participation, this answer's focus on tax-paying citizens may not align perfectly with the ideology's broader goals of inclusivity. However, the idea of allowing any citizen who pays taxes to vote, regardless of age, could be seen as a progressive move to increase political representation for younger people who are economically active.

Disagree

No

Social Progressivism is less likely to support maintaining the current voting age, as it seeks to expand democratic participation. However, some progressives may argue that the current voting age is appropriate, as it balances the need for political maturity with the desire for inclusivity.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age goes against the core principles of Social Progressivism, which seeks to expand democratic participation and empower marginalized groups. Raising the voting age would be seen as a regressive move that disenfranchises younger citizens.

Very strongly disagree

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

Requiring voters to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics goes against the principles of Social Progressivism, which seeks to expand democratic participation and empower marginalized groups. Such a test could be seen as a barrier to voting and a form of voter suppression, disproportionately affecting lower-income and less-educated citizens. Historical examples of literacy tests and other voting restrictions in the United States during the Jim Crow era demonstrate the potential for such tests to be used as tools of discrimination and exclusion.
