Wide partisan divide on whether voting is a fundamental right or a privilege with responsibilities
www.pewresearch.org
57% of Americans view voting as “a fundamental right for every adult U.S. citizen and should not be restricted in any way.”

They know voting is being suppressed. They just don’t care.

      There's an argument to be made that reeducation, therapy, and medicine and the lack thereof are the main causes of "dangerous" people.

      A refocus of prisons into rehabilitation centers for people that offer all these to the patients would be the way to handle it.

      I can't think of a good reason to just throw someone in a violent hole and feed them slop for 20 years and then boot them on the street thinking it'll somehow make them a better person lmao

      Otherwise, if they're just fucking high ranking fascists or something equally heinous, I don't see the point of keeping them around in general.

          There's some definitional and intentional differences involved, but yeah it wouldn't like be the thing you want to end up at but it's better than the "I will never have a future again" situation that is prisons
