People with felonies shouldn’t have been disenfranchised. That is obviously wrong.
That doesn’t mean you should also do something that’s wrong in response. Just because at this particular moment there would be an advantage to felons being forbidden from going on the ballot, doesn’t mean that will always hold true in the future. What happens in 20 years when the Cop City protestors try to run for elected office and are forbidden because of the bullshit charges they incurred protesting?
