13. I think Bernie is taking the let prisoners vote position as a moral stand.

Bernie has always championed the poor and disenfranchised and this is just one more example of him standing up for the poor and unfortunate. Those who can't afford fancy lawyers and are educated in schools that are substandard. Those who are unfortunate in the 'who's your parent' lottery. Those from backgrounds with no accumulated wealth.

But the Bernie bashers, on line 24/7, will put it out as some sort of political ploy. But they somehow think Bernie is stupid enough to think he will gain more Black votes yet lose the 75% of voters that think prisoners voting is a bad idea.

Crazy stuff is this twisted logic the we are subjected to by the hatred of Bernie on the DU.
