Showing Original Post only (View all)Are we really going to allow an issue like voting rights for prisoners pull us apart before 2020? [View all]
Yes, it's an important issue but not a critical issue now. The critical issue now is protecting, preserving, and ensuring voting rights for non-prisoners, even voting rights for felons who have served their time and are now law-abiding citizens who have had their rights taken away. Voting rights for prisoners is an issue we can debated AFTER we win the 2020 House, Senate, and Presidency!

Do you really think this issue resignates with either side that it will make any difference at all?

Isn't that the whole point of these kind of proposals? To pull us apart.

Of course not; that's why it needs to be used to take Sanders out during the primaries
