This should be the standard platform of all progressive candidates. Currently, the US will do it's best to hold the likes of Chelsea Manning in prison in perpetuity and it's abhorrent, and is done to discourage further whistleblowers, not punish individuals for their 'crimes'.
Good shit, Bernie.
I mean Manning leaked things without any regard for security or for people's safety. She deserved to be jailed for that, and then she refused to answer a grand jury in a seperate investigation into Wikileaks, if I recall correctly, and got jailed for that. She has definitely committed more than her fair share of crimes.
