Why are the Bolsheviks pushing for felon's voting restoration?

[Anti Federalist]

Simple:

They tend to vote for Bolsheviks.


Marc Meredith, PhD, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Business Economics at the University of Pennsylvania, and Michael Morse, Research Fellow at Stanford Law School, stated the following in their Nov. 18, 2013 article "Do Voting Rights Notification Laws Increase Ex-Felon Turnout?," published in the Annals of the American Academy of Political Science:

"[In New York] ex-felons who are registered overwhelmingly register as Democrats. Of those discharge records that match to at least one voter file record, 61.5 percent match only to Democratic voter records. In contrast, 25.5 percent match only to voter records with no affiliation or an affiliation with a minor party, while 9 percent match only to Republican voter records...

[R]egistered ex-felons in New Mexico tend to be overwhelmingly Democrat: 51.9 percent match to only registered Democrats, 18.9 percent match to only registered Republicans, 21.7 percent match to only individuals registered neither as Democrats nor Republicans, and 7.5 percent match to multiple individuals who affiliate with different parties"

Socialism/communism is a manifestation of criminal tendencies, it is only logical that criminals will favor such policies that give them "free" stuff by stealing from everyone else.

Criminality should disqualify you from voting because voting is one of the most dangerous activities on the planet and the criminal has demonstrated his flawed character.

The same reason they flood the country with illegal immigrants, want to get rid of the electoral college, call opposing viewpoints racist, misogynistic, etc., etc., etc.

If you ask them, they will tell you, they are trying to save our 'democracy.'

Well it's the right thing to do, I'm not sure if that's their main reason for supporting it though. To me it doesn't really matter what their motivation is for supporting it.

A combination of smiling hard and voting hard will do just the trick.

As to the OP, you don't see a lot of felons voting for Republicans.

Well, we had discussed this topic and I wasn't able to come up with anything that indicated, with some form of "hard" data, just which way felons aligned.

This survey suggests a leftist alignment.

How is it the right thing to do to allow criminals to use government to steal from me?

Voting is not a "right".

I'm much more inclined to remove a felon's 2nd Amendment restrictions, than afford them a vote, as I am opposed to anything that lets more idiot AmeriKunts anywhere close to a voting booth.

Even a criminal has a right to defend themselves but criminals do not have a right to set the rules of society.

They are just not right. Most of them would not be in prison at all if libertarians had their way.

That is debatable.

Many of them would not but I do not believe that most of them would not.

LOL...I saw that earlier.

Pretty bad when you've lurched so far left that you lose Cher.

As conditions get worse some people will actually learn and shift rightward.


Most will not, for the most part people do not change.

I'm not sure yet if Cher is shifting or if the left has just gone so far overboard that they left her behind as you suggest.

Something definitely burst her utopian fantasy bubble... lol

Bernie Sanders Vows To Round Up Remaining ISIS Members, Allow Them To Vote
April 23rd, 2019

​

U.S.—During a CNN town hall event Monday evening, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders came out tough on terror, vowing to do what was needed to round up the remaining members of ISIS in order to give them the right to vote in US elections.

"As president, I will do everything in my power to hunt down each and every one of these terrorist scumbags, bring them to the U.S., and allow them to vote in our elections," he said sternly, drawing applause from his supporters. "We believe in democracy, right? We believe in democracy and the right to vote, and if that means I have to use every resource at my disposal to make sure ISIS makes it to the polls, I will do so."
"This is America, after all," he said, wildly flailing his hands about before aides rushed to him and gave him his meds to calm him down.

After being pressed, Sanders admitted that part of the reason for the policy is that he's "pretty confident" ISIS will vote for Democrats such as himself.
