Sen. Bernie Sanders argued Monday that all prisoners, including domestic terrorists such as the Boston Marathon bomber, should have the right to vote while they are incarcerated.
“If somebody commits a serious crime, assault, murder, they’re going to be punished,” Sanders said. “They may be in jail for 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, their whole lives. That’s what happens when you commit a serious crime.”
“But I think the right to vote is inherent to our democracy,” he continued. “Yes, even for terrible people, because once you start chipping away … you’re running down a slippery slope. … I do believe that even if they are in jail, they’re paying their price to society, but that should not take away their inherent American right to participate in our democracy.”

Why should people who violate a country’s laws get to voice their opinion on how to run the country?
Then again, common sense also would tell you not to praise a communist mass murderer dictator and assume that his victim’s silence in the face of death means that they approve of him…
If he’s so worried about democracy why did he praise communist Russia and Cuba?
He just wants more votes from whatever degenerate pool he can draw from
