Jerry Springer advocates for reducing voting age in 1970 Senate hearing | ABC News

[@kennyryan625]

Jerry was ahead of his time! He advocated for us young people before we were even born. RIP Jerry 😢

[@velvet7774]

Yes indeed

[@johnmguzman7491]

He died? I met him years ago and in person he was so polite (unlike his TV persona).

I only knew of him from the bits of his show I saw over the years… I had no idea what kinds of things he did with his life before that… so much newfound respect for the man you were ❤ rest in peace, Mr. Springer.

He was intelligent and well spoken. There is no doubt about that.

@@yeshuaischrist9951 Are you advocating for a world where we are forced to be a believer? Or just inferring inferiority for his choice of belief? Like we really know in anyone's last moments what they believe /or don't believe in? One thing those 18yrs and older at least BELIEVED they were fighting for, was freedom to believe in what the heaven or hell they wanted to believe or could. Deism, Rationalism, Agnosticism, Atheism etc, OR indeed nothing at all.

[@tommybrown9534]

I honestly had no idea he was so vocal on these kinda issues. I only just yesterday found out that he was the mayor of Cincinnati (I may be wrong about the city but I'm sure it was in Ohio). Either way, a man of good standing. Rest peacefully

[@faerefolke]

Thank you, Jerry.❤

[@Faithlove-dk6vf]

He was very articulate,young man then,he was serious and very correct about what the voting age should be,God bless🤍🌸💕

They lowered the voting age because of the draft. That's the only real reason.

Of course, Biden's 'tard base doesn't understand context and they'll say "hey, Jerry Springer said to lower the voting age! THAT'LL show those evil Republicans trying to prevent us from voting!"

It's a real shame that the Jerry Springer show is the main thing he'll be remembered for. It's probably the low point of his career. Both before and after that show's run he was a real stand-up guy for the most part.

“…intelligent, articulate, well informed on the issues, and concerned about the cities he will inherit.” We now know frontal lobe development does not complete until the brain is 24-25 years hold. The typical 18 year old today has no business voting. From ages 18-25 young people need to have their voice heard to be given a preliminary /probationary stake in America. But a full stake? It has been a disaster.

[@hottiegirl4814]

How has it been a disaster? The largest group of voters is still baby boomers. 18 year olds have a right to vote as they are legally considered adults and have to pay taxes. I’m not sure if you’ve heard the phrase no taxation without representation

If you pay tax, be trial as an adult, and be available to join the arm forces, then you should be allow to vote and buy alcohol. Since people can vote at 18 now, next is be able to drink legally.

You sound like Republican lawyer Cleta Mitchell. She was on Trump's perfect Georgia election officials phone call. Cleta got caught on a recording wanting to suppress the college student vote. I guess you don't want Blacks Hispanics women and some others to vote either. That Donald Trump was a middle-aged man before he registered to vote first time in late 1980s. I'm much younger and registered to vote in early 1980s. Trump supporters think he knows everything about voting listening to his lies. Bill Barr testified he ask Trump did anybody tell you how voting and elections work.
