Obviously babies cant vote but i find it weird how zionist we are about a magic age number to mark full maturity.
We allow demented elders to become president so why not also lets kids vote, its their future.

Because not all kids know better and are far more gullible than the average adult

Yes, because surely all adults know better, that’s why they so frequently swallow propaganda and vote against their own interests.
It’s controversial and it has its own problems with enforcement, but it often seems like there should be some kind of civics and media literacy test before voting. Of course, whoever is administering the test is going to have their own biases and agendas, so it’s no magic bullet solution.
There’s a vast gulf in maturity between children at different ages, and everyone develops at their own pace. Some thirteen year olds are more mature than many eighteen year olds, and some forty year olds needed more time to cook but they still graduated anyway.
