your boy bernie could have said this. instead he paused, thoughtfully considered the question, and declared his position terrorists *still in prison* should be voting. he hasn’t retracted, and you haven’t dissented. no one is forgetting this.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1121421715324772354 …

This feels like nit picking. Is it a right or a privilege?

really insane. prisoners lose almost *all* of their rights including movement, property, arms, and even speech (try tweeting in prison with the cell phone you can’t have). perhaps the far left rejects the concept of prison in general? i don’t.

Is it insane? I think there's a proper debate to be had. The founding fathers claimed rights were inalienable. Just saying.

confused about what you're advocating here: granting rights to prisoners or abolishing prisons? if the former, i can assure you the founding fathers weren't arming prisoners. if the latter, that's an interesting, but very extreme position i simply don't agree with.

I am curious as to why, at a practical level, this bothers some ppl so much. Let's say those rights had always been retained, what would be the utility in removing them? What's the argument for it in terms of contribution to rehabilitation or punishment?
