What do you think? Personally I’m all for it. I think it’s important to have as many young people involved in politics to counteract the old majority.

It being their target demographic is tangential, not the point.
You gain other rights and obligations before the law when you turn 16. When the law recognizes your decision-making capability, why would it not allow you to vote?
Youth has become more mature earlier. Many 16-year-olds are interested and engaged, some take initiative and are politically or socially active. Denying them the right to vote is questionable when there’s no clear arguments to do so.
