I’ve always had a problem with mandatory age limits.
There has to come a time when a child is no longer a child, 18 is as good a number as any. A certain amount of life experience and socialization needs to be achieved in this complex age before you're ready to jump in the deep end. Sexual maturity has been the traditional point at which childhood ends but we have become more than just self-aware livestock.
Making folks wait until they are 25 to drive a car or get a job or apartment seems a bit draconian, but Democrats generally have no problems making up all sorts of rules that others should have to follow.
Now, if you make taxpayer-funded education mandatory up to age 24 with internships, apprenticeships, and living wage stipends, military service optional but recommended for possible future firearm upgrades. And wrapped it in a package that included Medicare for ALL, I might get on the train.
