Most criminals are in jail because they acted against social and moral norms, at times even doing physical harm to fellow citizens.

They do not deserve the right to express their opinion by voting. They already showed us how they feel about the rest of us

Most people are in jail for drug offenses. Not a fan of drugs myself, but it’s literally half of the prison population. Hurting themselves, mostly.

People who have to be locked in cages because they're addicted to poison are OBVIOUSLY not mature or responsible enough to select the leader of the free world. No sane person would disagree. I'm going to ask you to wake up.

This is ridiculous. People act against social and moral norms every day, they are not imprisoned, but are still allowed to vote. Many horrible people are walking around free because they either haven't been caught or their offensives didn't rise to the level of an outright crime. What about the falsely convicted? Should their rights be denied because we have a flawed judicial system?

Who are you to decide who is moral enough to choose our leaders?

Voting is a privilege, not a right. I explain in my initial comment above.

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.
