Bernie Sanders wants convicted terrorist to be able to vote

In the majority of the US convicted felons aren't allowed to vote.

The reasoning is simple; people who have demonstrated a deep hatred of the law by murdering, raping, stealing, selling drugs to little children, etc shouldn't have a say in what the laws are because they would clearly vote for selfish interests not what's good for society.

But Bernie Sanders says that even convicted terrorists like Szhokhar Tsarnaev who was behind the Boston Marathon bombing should be allowed to vote.

He said:

“If somebody commits a serious crime, sexual assault, murder, they’re going to be punished,” Sanders said. “They may be in jail for 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, their whole lives. That’s what happens when you commit a serious crime."

"But I think the right to vote is inherent to our democracy," he continued. "Yes, even for terrible people, because once you start chipping away ... you’re running down a slippery slope. ... I do believe that even if they are in jail, they’re paying their price to society, but that should not take away their inherent American right to participate in our democracy.”

Apparently in Bernie's mind white nationalists who murder blacks because they're black deserve the right to participate in our society.

Of course if convicted felons tended to vote Republican Bernie wouldn't be saying this. But Bernie knows that felons, like illegal immigrants, tend to vote Democrat so he's all in for letting them vote.

The one core moral principle of all Democrat politicians these days is that anything that helps them get more power is good and anything that denies them power is bad.
