    Mike Bloomberg was a pretty good NYC mayor. Especially compared to the piece of **** we have now.

    But Bloomberg, in his desperate quest for attention, has become a complete total ****ing lunatic.

    Hopefully we can ward off the rot that this exposed. But if we can rid the USA of the cancer that is Trump and this crime organization, we have to get rid of the establishment so-called representatives that got us here.

    Democrats think there is nothing wrong with buying votes, never have, never will. They have been rounding up street urchins in L. A. for decades, buying them a shot of booze, they know who they are supposed to vote for.

    it's being reviewed, but unless he made a condition of paying their fines that they would vote for someone, it's not a crime, as long as they can vote for whomever they want

    Personally, unless someone is in prison, on probation or parole, they should be able to vote imo

    same applies to other rights, like free speech and religion, as well as owning a gun

    either these are rights... or they are privileges... which is it?

    Farmers who have received subsidies from Trump don't agree with this.

    It's important to note that the Florida legislature has a habit of taking amendments, overwhelmingly approved by the citizens, via ballot, and saying, "PFFT, so what.... "

    They then pass legislation to make it nearly impossible to do what Floridians want.

    It has been close to impossible for felons to pay their fines. They aren't even allowed to know how much they owe. That's some seriously sleazebag ****, right there.

    When we voted to legalize medical marijuana, the legislature said, fine, "anyone dying in the next two months can have a small amount." They only fixed it after our governor said, "STOP IT!"

    This is shenanigan politics, and nothing more. We, the people of Florida, want everyone to be able to vote. The Florida lawmakers said, "LOL, sure. As long as they can figure out how much they owe, fine. But, we're not going to enable them to find out!!!"

    So you don't acknowledge a debt to society can ever be repaid? Why not just execute every prisoner, then?

    It is also a federal violation, but either way, the optics of this are horrible for the democrats.

    The problem with Democrats is they lose a lot. I mean a LOT. The reason is that they tend to ignore that which they don't want to see like this part that you totally ignored:
    "A memo from the Bloomberg team, obtained Tuesday by the newspaper, explained that the billionaire businessman saw the effort as “a more cost-effective way of adding votes to the Democratic column than investing money to persuade voters who already have the right to vote.”

    We have identified a significant vote share that requires a nominal investment. The data shows that in Florida, Black voters are a unique universe unlike any other voting bloc, where the Democratic support rate tends to be 90%-95%,” the memo read.

    I'm sure 10 to 15 makes up for the life someone destroyed (murder) . :rolleyes:
    Keeping them them voting makes sense. They can still live life and do everything except make decisions that effect everyone around them, especially considering they lack the ability to consider the consequences for others or themselves even.

    There is no need to be dramatic and pretend it's a life ending even because they cannot vote.

    The citizens of Florida disagree with you.
