POLL: Americans Overwhelmingly Reject Comrade Bernie’s Idea For Prison Vote

Socialist Bernie Sanders may have really stepped in it with his championing of dangerous criminals who he wants to be able to vote from behind bars.

The senator from Vermont continues to bolster his rabidly loyal forces for another run at the White House that he hopes will end better than it did in 2016 when he all but took down the allegedly unbeatable Hillary Clinton until the corrupt DNC intervened on her behalf.

Sanders may have lost that battle but he is hellbent at pulling off an American socialist revolution and over the weekend, thousands of “house parties” took place as his armies of activists girded for what could be a bloody battle with the establishment that could end with Bernie as the Dem nominee.

While his ideas are really not new or innovative (they have failed miserably everywhere they have been tried) they are seductive to the young thanks to Bernie’s siren song of free stuff and social justice which when combined with a failed public education system have convinced a huge number of millennials that socialism is the answer.

But the same doesn’t hold true for sane Americans who haven’t been electronically lobotomized by years of 24/7 anti-Trump propaganda and an early poll shows that Comrade Bernie’s support for giving the vote to such loathsome types as terrorists, child molesters, murderers, rapists, and drug dealers isn’t a winner with the general public.

The controversial idea was floated by Sanders during CNN’s marathon town hall last Monday when he incredibly defended the Boston Marathon bomber’s right to vote despite being a convicted terrorist and a murderer.

The early verdict is in and it’s not good for Bernie, in a poll conducted by Business Insider, a whopping 75 percent disapproved of such lunacy.

Via The Washington Free Beacon, “Poll: 75 Percent Oppose Sanders on Letting All Prisoners Vote”:

A large majority of Americans disagree with Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I., Vt.) stance that all prisoners should be allowed to vote in the United States, even those behind bars for violent crimes like the Boston Marathon bomber.

A Business Insider poll found 75 percent of respondents opposed enfranchising all inmates, with just 15 percent saying they supported it. The poll found about 35 percent supported giving the vote to incarcerated persons in some capacity. Twenty-four percent said violent felons should lose their right to vote permanently.

Sanders said at a CNN town hall last week that even “terrible people” should have the right to vote from prison, after being asked if people like convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should be given back the franchise.

“If somebody commits a serious crime, sexual 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. Yes, even for terrible people.”

The good news that there is such an overwhelming number of people who are repulsed at such a crackpot idea should be tempered by the fact that Sanders is backed by a potent political machine that is able to raise money from millions of suckers who are drinking the Kool-Aid and are immune to reality.

But the poll is encouraging considering the growing infatuation with socialism.
