Huffington Post: Fox News Hosts Tell Young Women Not To Vote
Fox News is discouraging young people from voting again, but this time the target is more specific: young women.

"The Five" co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle said Tuesday that young women should excuse themselves from voting in the upcoming midterm elections because they don't share the same "life experience" as older women and should just go back to playing around on Tinder and Match.com.

"It's the same reason why young women on juries are not a good idea," Guilfoyle said. "They don't get it!"

Earlier in the conversation, co-host Greg Gutfeld made the point that "with age comes wisdom" and the "older you get, the more conservative you get."

In other words: "Hey kids! Hold off a little. You don't have to vote just yet. Wait until you're conservative enough old enough!"

Guilfoyle agreed, suggesting that you can't cast an informed vote until you've gone through adult things, like paying the bills.

"They're [young women] like healthy and hot and running around without a care in the world," she concluded. "They can go back on Tinder or Match.com."

On a previous episode in October, co-host Harris Faulkner also said that young people should stay away from the polls if they "don't know the issues." We've already explained why it's a terrible -- and illogical -- idea to convince young people not to vote. But driving young women away from the polls? Do we even have to get into why that's potentially one of the most damaging and regressive things that could happen to society?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: any person who willingly watches Fox News...I mean, Fixed Noise, needs to excuse themselves from voting....just saying.

Yes. 18 and 19 year old women make up about 1.07% of the voting population (November 2012).
 
I'm sure people of all ages "just don't get" and vote anyway.
 
In other words, they're fully aware there's not going ton be another Republican president for a looooooooooong time, and delusional enough to think they actually have any influence?
 
Don't vote because if you do, we'll loose! :P

Apparently all young people are democrats.

Oh, and ALL WOMEN are supposed to be as well.

And All Blacks. ... .... ... ... homosexuals... .... drug users.... ..

The kids in todays school are indoctrinated with things like common core and made to be so uninformed they have no idea thats the way they want them so they think in a entitled way which leads to voting a certain way. Regardless the above comments were sarcasm from that show.
