Again, I have no problem with the main point of the video.
In advertising, there's a cliche that periodically runs amok in commercials. I call it the "Wise Child" cliche. It's most commonly employed when a company seeks to position themselves as environmentally sensitive, but it gets used in other ways, including political ads on occasion. You'll recognize it because the adults (primarily men) are always idiots and the kids are always wise.
This video is a form of the Wise Child cliche.
There's nothing wrong with the Wise Child cliche, as far as it goes. And there's nothing wrong with this girl taking a run at promoting her worldview. More power to her. I hope she makes a ton of videos and becomes an internet sensation.
But personally, I simply object on principle to promoting kids as spokespersons for any product, cause or political position.
In truth, the video would have been fine, and I wouldn't have had any objection or reason to post if she had ended it without the "Vote Trump" comment.
Am I being too sensitive? Probably definitely.
But there are enough sources of Trump support by people with the life-experience, maturity, and the legal right to vote without also getting it from someone who has just recently learned to read and write.
