Perhaps you missed the point, which was that allowing convicted felons to vote does not create millions of Democratic voters.

Further to respond to another point you made in this thread, justice isn't just about punishment. Justice is much more complex, involving ideas of restitution, fairness, etc. Your view that justice is merely about punishment is quite narrow and misguided, as is your opinion that someone who supports restoring voting rights to citizens cannot be part of the right.

Actually, I didn't make that narrow point. Guess you missed that in your general confusion here.

Your confused ideas of restitution are called lawsuits. We are talking here about convicted felons who served jail time. A felon will go to jail independent of a civil lawsuit. A civil lawsuit has absolutely no bearing on the amount of time a felon will serve.

Nor does your silly liberal idea of "fairness".

Actually, the point you made to me was very specific. You plainly stated that because most States have a law on the books, that made everything proper and correct....
Your argument might have some merit if most states didn't already allow convicted felons the right to vote (Source).
MY reply about Abortion devastated your silly notion. Which is way you desperately seek to now change the discussion. You need to learn to swallow a healthy dose of humility and admit when you are wrong, instead of wasting more of my time. Thanks!

And restitution is part of punishment. Still no clue what your idea of “fairness, etc” is though... LoL!

Let me know if it ever kicks you in the behind and hands you a clue.
