- You have completely misread and misunderstood what this article was about. I have fought for decades for former convicted felons who have paid their dues to society to be allowed their freedom to vote and all of their citizenship made whole. This story is about how Democrats pushed a crime bill and all of its racist policies that created mass incarceration and the bills behind felons being unable to vote, then now realizing that they now needs these same black people for votes. Sorry if that’s too much for you to grasp. I stand by all that I’ve said.
2. You have also made the ASSumption that being a Progressive means you’re a Democrat, when in fact the Democratic Party is NOT Progressive but Neoliberal Centrist who lean more right than left…
3. I will NOT provide you a breakdown of anything, I’m sure your google search works just as good as mine…I also provided a news article that made the connection between former Felons in VA and Democrats receiving their votes, if you have an issue with that then perhaps you need to address that with them but COMMON sense would suggest that most African Americans vote Democrat and since it was a Dem Gov who pushed their reinstatement, then more likely than not, that’s how they would vote.
4. Your last paragraph is especially laughable, as you speak with such authority on the “Fed Gov DOES NOT prohibit employees from asking about a criminal record”…you could not be more wrong. Obama signed an executive order called: “Ban The Box”, which removes the box abt criminal record from Fed Job Applications…next time make sure you do your research.
