      That’s a little too crazy, but maybe one day I mean Presidents have been convicted of felonies and yet they still run for office. I mean shit people have ran for office while in prison. I think they still have to maintain some sense of decency, but you know, the Yankee Empire is one of the biggest cartels.

        Until we fix our justice system, it’s a dangerous road to say “you can’t run for president if you’ve been convicted of a felony”.

        The second sentence I have for that is: “Barring someone from a political position with politically motivated charges is a tool of a fascist government, the people should be able to decide who can be president regardless”

        But that didn’t turn it well for us this time around.
