If you think that people should be judged purely on their history, why should those convicted felons be allowed to vote?
I want to point out that I think that should not be the case. Just that I think you should take a look at Biden's current policy at and least acknowledge that he's doing better than he was 30 years ago. Don't forget the sins of the past. Just acknowledge when people do better and, maybe eventually, consider forgiving those past sins if he continues the positive momentum.
What would you judge people on other than their history?
I'm disinclined to forgive Biden when he hasn't "forgiven" those incarcerated by his laws.
Biden has had the opportunity to make changes, which is great. Convicted felon a rarely get that chance
