    This wouldn't stop the other candidates from calling it out.

    Why (pray tell) would the "other candidates" call it out?

    The Dems want to let all of them vote 10x each in Pennsylvania.

    So? Why would they call it out?

    Did they vote in previous elections?

    They aren't here to call each other out.

    They are here to advance an agenda.

    Bernie knows who the guy would vote for, as do all Democrats.

    Hopefully 10x each (at least) In PA, WI, and MI.

    Sounds like a plan for 2020.

    Just WIN, Baby!

    To me it sounded like she didn't want to be on record saying yes or no. Perhaps she is thinking its best to let the issue simmer while Sen Sanders takes the heat. That way she's free to throw support behind felon voting only if it later becomes popular with the left and if not then shes got clean hands.

    Aren't they supposed to be competing against each other?

    I can't see how she would have lost one single vote if she had have said that she is against it. However, she obviously wants the votes of human waste criminals and she was insanely soft on crime as Attorney General of California, so it wouldn't surprise me if she is of the opinion that they should be allowed to vote. Only FILTHY PIGS believe that pieces of human waste child rapists should be allowed to vote while in prison. It truly is an outrageous position to hold!

    I can only assume that the left would say that they have much bigger fish to fry than worrying about giving human waste felons the right to vote.

    TO DEMOCRATS: What do you think about allowing human waste felons to vote? Is it an issue that you care about? Did Harris achieve anything by being open to it?

    I think that when it is an attack based on a hatred of the country and a wanting to see it destroyed, that can be a terrorism category on its own.

    Not true about the Islamic terrorist, and NO I don't want prisoners to have any rights. They gave up those rights when the crime was committed.

    IF a convicted felon has been rehabilitated to the point of having his or her rights restored, why not ALL their rights? The left wants their votes but sure doesn't want them owning firearms. That seems hypocritical. I agree that once the felons have "paid their debt to society" they can petition to have their rights restored. BUT... they must fully pay their debt first. Most prison sentences come with a hefty monetary penalty as well. I wonder how many of those fines are outstanding?

    What you describe seems reasonable to me.

    But Kamala and Bernie were specific-they want currently jailed felons, up to terrorists voting from behind bars.

    Thats exactly what she did.


    She mimicked Bernie until Bernie started taking heat.

    Then she fell back on "having a conversation".

    She's not a fast thinker and her fall in support reflects this.

    I don't think currently serving felons should be able to vote. think it'd be OK for so called victimless felons to vote, but then you'd have to split hairs to determine victimless.

    For now I think automatic return of voting rights after serving time would be a cause worth pursuing.

    To give criminals a pass. Trump seems to listen to her.

    I don't think Trump's felons, Manafort, Cohen, Flynn, etc., should be allowed to vote.

    If Trump and his kids end up in prison, they shouldn't be allowed to vote either.
