Bernie is a pandering idiot.

I favor, on a case by case basis, some felons regaining voting and other rights. But not WHILE they're in prison.

Solid democrat voting base. . .


Bernie's a socialist loon - what do you expext?

Just another reason the Dems are getting their collective asses kicked in 2020.

The Socialist values power over free exchange of ideas and services.

Yes. Yes I do.

So when you're a convicted felon you lose certain rights, such as voting, limited search and seizure rights, right to own a firearm and several others.

If the right to vote is so ingrained into the rights of a democracy that felons should have the abilty to vote after conviction but while still in prison and even afterward while out on probation, why take the right away from them in the first place?

And if you're going to restore one's voting rights, since under some theories you've paid your debt to society upon release, I don't hear Bernie, AOC, Harris, Warren and the rest of them advocating for the return of your ability to own firearms.

I am assuming he has a solid constiutency in the prison system.

let them vote

just don't count them until they're out of jail and have their rights restored

or its much simpler just to say the Bern is a blithering idiot and keep things the way they are

there is enough democratic voter fraud going on we don't need prisoners voting

What a country! Even lunatics can be millionaires and run for public office.

Pandering to his base.

If people convicted of a felony keep the right to vote while in prison they should be allowed to own/possess firearms while in prison.

Demwit!

That's where I stand. If the idea is to allow felons the right to vote, given that the right to vote by citizens is spelled-out in the 15th & 19th Amendments, then the rights of gun owners, seized property owners, and victims of liberal search n'seizure laws should also be in-play.

Liberals want to pick n'play which rights they want to defend, it's either one or the other.

I hope he says that Mexicans should be able to vote in our elections--and Guatemalans, and Hondurans. And Canadians. I mean, South Americans, North Americans-- we're all Americans! Everybody votes!

If Bernie Sanders thought cats would vote for him he would lobby for them to have voting rights as well.

I like how they pick & choose their outrage and ideas. NO rhyme or reason to their thinking, other than being able to regain power and get votes.

His gerbils have lost their wheel.

So...

Should they be allowed to vote in the local elections for where the prison located?

Often times prisoners may outnumber citizens in these small rural jurisdictions.

lets try a short test

lets put Bernie in jail

and lose the key...
