AOC Claims That Felons Not Being Allowed To Vote Is ‘Legacy’ Of Slavery
SWP ^ | August 22,2020 | Jack Hadfield

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has claimed that the prevention of felons being able to vote is a “legacy” of slavery in America.

AOC Talks Nonsense About Felon Voting

Ocasio-Cortez believes that felon disenfranchisement, a system perpetuated by 48 states that prevents convicted felons from having the right to vote, is grossly unjust. On an Instagram livestream, the freshman congresswoman rattled off a number of reasons why someone may not be eligible to vote in national elections in the United States.

[snip] Whilst this may sound like complete crazy talk to ordinary citizens, it is not only Ocasio-Cortez who is in favor of convicted, violent felons being given the chance to decide who runs this beautiful country. Only last year, both Senator Bernie Sanders and Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris said that they were open to allowing the Boston marathon bomber the chance to vote in prison!

Democrats have such a low opinion of blacks.

“Oh? You’re descended from slaves? You must be a felon. Was prison hard for you, or was it fun to see all your friends again?”

Indiana has it right, as it is a right.

But not while you are a ward of the state.

AOC is shamelessly playing the race card, yet again. But I gotta agree with her premise. Once a felon has completed his entire sentence (including any probation or parole), he should have all of his rights restored.

That includes voting, owning a firearm, etc.

For a person convicted of a violent felony, I might tack on a more few years before he can legally own a gun. Just to make sure he’s seen the light. Call it a firearms-restricted probation.

Not saying I want this girl hurt or sexually assaulted, I just wish she had an ‘unpleasant experience’ that led to her being rescued either by a couple of NYC’s finest or some young hardhat construction workers. It might just get her to thinking who real men are.

There is no depth of EVIL that the HORSE-TOOTHED PSYCHOPATH won’t stoop to.

During the Pony Express days she might have been useful. JoeJoe could’ve mounted up with his sacks and rode bareback. JoeJoe is multi-talented that dog-faced pony soldier.

I think most black dems see themselves in the lowest way possible..Remember Clinton and midnight basketball???Black kids playing basketball because they couldn’t handle school...Dems have always thought of themselves as white saviors and I figure most black dems see the whites dems that way too....

How about one side has AOC, Sanders, Antifa, BLM supporters, Black Panthers, released felons illegal alien gangs, pedophiles,people who aim lasers into the eyes of police to blind them, and the Dem Party.

Other side has Trump and us. And we pray for God’s help if it is His will.

Case closed.

We should have never fought the Spanish-American War. We lost by winning.

Funny.

But her type is the totally entitled, totally arrogant female who thinks no mere man is good enough to warrant her grudging acceptance of sex with her.

Gloria Steinem who was the prototype, was with Norman Mailer once on a panel and afterward he asked her "How much money do you have with you?" Then "Good. We have enough. Why don't we get a hotel room together tonight?"

The first three versions of that story ended with oh, such a male sexist that Norman Mailer was. Imagine such a thing.

Then I found the rest of the story. "I got the room with Mailer and we had sex but only that night."

Better ending.
