Lets not forget that in normal times, even a President must get Congressional approval to pass a bill, and I'm not sure this would pass, and I doubt if I would vote for it without a lot of thought. But I support Bernie in his contempt for eligible voters not voting. It's a shame that so many have died for this right, and so many who benefit from those sacrifices just don't bother, often because the decision is a tough one so they just opt out. But that's blatant cowardice at a time when what's best for the country is vital. So, like a candidate or not, it is important to choose to the best of one's ability what would be best for America, not who is most popular.Do you support felons getting back their rights?In Maine they can, and they have always been able to. I believe Vermont is the same.What about prisoners? Should they vote?Once you pay your debt to society the convicted person should have certain rights restored.
