That could open the gates to one party weaponizing the justice system and jailing the opposition. That’s the only reason I don’t support such a requirement.
And I’ve consistently been of the opinion they should barring certain crimes. I hate this felon’s guts, not a fan of most felons to be honest, but a vandalism felony as a 19 year old? Drug dealers? And that’s not getting into felonies I’m questionable as to if they should be crimes.
+1 for angry commies message. I believe that’s why we would actually want to be able to elect a felon.
It’s up to the people to use their brains (…lmfao) and try to understand if it’s really just a political hit or if they’re a legitimate criminal. Of course in a world of Faux News, Newsmax, and Facebook Karens, figuring out what to believe is becoming increasingly more impossible as is the intent.
It’s getting old but it’s insane how many comments this fits so I need to say it again: I FUCKING HATE PROPAGANDISTS!
The problem of billionaires and propagandists are one in the same.

My radicalizing adult realization was that as a species we’re incredibly dumb.
And I don’t mean that in terms of the usual way in which people say “people are dumb!” and throw their hands in the air to explain the latest absurd thing.
I mean on a deeper, more fundamental and hopeless level. We are not reasonable, rational creatures. Just because we figured out what rationality means and can employ it as a tool, generally across most of our species we are survival machines, and our brains are tuned to do one thing only, which is explain why you feel things so you can predict danger.
This makes us ridiculously easy to manipulate and sway, because we have vastly deep brains that will create an entire universe of stories to explain an emotion, and it will do this in your own voice so you think it’s your own good ideas and it will fool you into believing your own stories, even if they don’t make a shred of sense. This is why you can have educated, smart people like doctors and nurses become anti-vax or climate scientists denying climate change. We are entirely emotional creatures and we trick ourselves into believing our fears all day long, every day, and we can’t ever get out. We’re stuck down a hole with no way out. Lost in our own world of biases and attaching to backwards storylines to explain them.
Seems like the people capable of saying “I don’t know” are the only ones with consistency.
I’ve consistently been of the opinion that a felon shouldn’t be able to become president.

I would answer IDK in the poll
Hmmmm that’s true, I hadn’t thought of that.
Also if time has been served then there should be no problem. (Not relevant to Trump I know)
I really wonder which party that would be.
