You want me to post your EC predictions before the last election?

OMG, I made a mistake...now compare that to your multiple mistakes daily.

I notice you don't dispute how wrong you were today.

It's a dumb argument when the guy who won the EC barely won a bunch of states and lost the popular vote by a few million. That has never happened in the US.

Trump's approval ratings have never really approached 50%.

I can't understand why they should allowed to vote while serving their sentences. After they get out is a different story.

Trump would be for letting cons vote while in prison. The Russian mob could get the Thief-in-Chief a bunch of votes.

Do you understand rights?

Do you understand rights?

I do, but you can lose your rights. Or do you believe a serial spousal abuser should be allowed to buy guns legally? Or how about someone who commits armed robbery, should they be allowed to buy a gun?

No they shouldn't, but that's apples and cucumbers. To extend your analogy, the only convicts who deserve to lose voting rights are those that commit crimes in some way related to voting (e.g., voting fraud).

The real question is whether any independents or registered pubs should be allowed to vote.

What say ye, Tunnels Left???

I said NOTHING for the sort. Don't try to put false words into my mouth.

I said you should get your right to vote back when you are free, but not while you are in prison.

I thought you were making an analogy to gun rights and gun-related crimes, because that's how the post read. I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth.

All that post said was you can lose your rights. That's all it said.

You asked (clearly condescending) if I understood rights. It was a BS question.

No your post said you didn't understand how anyone could be allowed to vote while serving a sentence, which is a bad position to take. Then you responded to my (appropriately) condescending question by making a gun rights/gun-related/violent crime analogy and losing the right to own a gun, so I replied with the next logical step which would be that your position would seem to indicate that loss of voting rights should be dependent on committing a voting related crime.

Do you want me to quote your post?
