Bernie wants terrorists to vote

At a town hall on CNN, Bernie said that all convicted criminals, even terrorists, should be allowed to vote, even while in prison.

When asked if that was a good idea, Kamela Harris said we should have that conversation.

Are these people
actually working for Trump? Are they actually republican plants pretending to be democrats?

They lefty extremism of an idea, doesn’t correlate to how strong of an idea it is.

The ability of an idea to, in practical terms, solve problems...that’s what makes an idea strong, not how radically liberal it is.

TDS is making people do everything they can, to help Trump.

Call Trump what you want, he is the greatest puppeteer I have ever seen. There is no limit to how stupid and self-destructive he can get them to act.

Follow the laws of the land and are out and free you should be voting, if you have no respect for the law, then I think you give up more then just your right to freedom.

These desperate pukes will stop at nothing....if anyone pretends to think this is a good idea they are simply lying. The new voting slogan is “ just show up”. Good grief,to think such people could help steer the country towards the abyss.

You can't just say, that you think it's bonkers to let incarcerated felons vote? It has to turn to bashing Trump, and me?

If you have no objection to letting incarcerated felons vote, let's start with you then. Let's let your inmates take a vote, on whether or not to fund your pension.

The democratic candidates are turning this away from a conversation about good ideas, and into a contest of who is the most radical. I expect at one of the debates, they won't actually debate any ideas, they will just show us who has the biggest tattoo of Fidel Castro on his back. It's stupefying what's happening over there.

I like the idea of forgiving college debt because those degrees are obviously worthless

"nobody should ever be burdened with the struggle to pay back money that they borrowed"


run on that.....

Yep.

Once your time is served, and your parole is over, you can reattain your voting eligibility.

So in the past few years the left has determined to give or propose illegal immigrants open invites, illegal immigrants the right to vote, higher taxes on people to relieve college debt, voting from jail, abolish immigration enforcement, abolish police, abolish defense, reparations from people that were not alive 150 years ago to people that were not alive 150 years ago, and free everything to everybody because everything is free.

And people wonder I why I left being a Dem

Don't forget lowering the voting age and abolishing the Electoral College.

It's not about solving problems, it's about getting votes, by finding a group of people, convincing that they are disenfranchised, blaming someone else for their challenges, and convincing them that you will give them freebies/perks to make up for it.

We see it on both sides, but not nearly to the same degree. I don't see the GOP nearly as willing to advocate for stupid/disastrous policies, just to get a few votes. It happens, but not anywhere near to the degree that it happens on the left.

No they just want to fix any election they can and limit who votes in the 1st place ... all in the name of something statically does not exist (voter fraud )

You're saying that it doesn't matter what candidates say before the election? That's why people like you paid no attention to anything Trump said, you never got worked up when he said he was going to build a wall?

Wow. Just wow.

Being a realist at times, I'm well aware the political future isn't really up to our generation and I say that for anyone of a more advanced age. It's what the younger generation coming up has for values , common sense, appreciation for what it is to be American, but there in lies the problem; as family units and social dynamics have so dramatically changed. Social media is shaping the future and I find it sad that so many are missing out on what the majority of this board grew up with.

For the most part I agree with you on this.
The left know they have NO SHOT IN HELL of beating Trump in 2020 and this is their plan.
Come up with a new distraction every single day to keep Trump and his accomplishments off the front pages of newspapers and out of tv news.

Has anyone here spent one nanosecond to study the potential positive such a proposal could bring?

more leftist brilliance...think about this for a nanosecond

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – The California State Senate voted to ban schools and principals from suspending students for “willful defiance” of teachers, staff, and administratorsThe Senate approved SB 419 Monday by a vote of 30-8. It moves to the Assembly next.

(Senate Bill 419), students in grades 4-8 wouldn’t be suspended for disrupting school activities or willfully defying school authorities, including teachers and staff. The bill would also ban schools from suspending students in grades 9-12 for the same thing until January 1, 2025. The law would apply to both public and charter schools.

Existing law already prohibits schools from suspending children in grades K-3 for disrupting or willful defiance. Existing law also prevents schools from recommending the expulsion of students in all grades for disrupting or willful defiance.

Students could still be suspended or expelled for other acts, including threatening violence, bringing a weapon or drugs to school, damaging school property, wearing a MAGA hat, wearing patriotic clothing or symbols, mentioning God or Christianity or worshiping Easter.

Wow. Just wow.

Nope never got worked up.. everything out of his mouth was BS reguardless of the topic from the primaries to the general election for me anyway

.. I understand how Government works and in True Form The system did not allow Trump to build the wall he wanted

saying something as a candidate and carrying out those proposals as the POTUS are 2 different things

So Barry saying he'd let convicts is like saying free Tuition both sound good and bad depending on the facts

on principle its a bad idea to let convicts vote from jail ... but to suggest inmates would influence a national or state election not possible .. town election they could make an impact possible depending on the town

Free Tuition sounds great until you understand its the cheapest part of going to school.. but its far from Free college

"town election they could make an impact possible depending on the town "

and that's a good enough reason to not do it.

The 200 election between Bush and Gore, came down to how many votes in FL? A couple thousand?

Free tuition only sounds good to thoughtless morons.
