Call me old fashioned, but I believe that stealing classified documents, encouraging espionage, inciting an armed insurrection, and being a convicted felon and rapist should disqualify any person from trying to be President of the United States.

@Strandjunker given the number of "low information" voters (though it's a bit of a thin excuse with an ex president who was a well known figure even before), yeah, such candidates should have not been eligible to run in the first place

@Strandjunker I would have believed that too, but the fact is that the USA is merely joining a long line of other countries where this is also common practice. Sad nonetheless.

@Npars01 This is not a new plan. The Capital and polit class just has more and more structural administrative and digital power since modern methods of production, stock exchange casino, exploitation, manipulation, surveillance, and ruling of labour, life, and resources just don’t need as much human resources as in the industrial era. So they can piss on the failing and resistant. Welcome to the Hunger Games. @Strandjunker

I feel for anyone who has a single first-time, non-violent felony conviction who got more punishment and more supervision. How many places will hire someone who applies with a felony conviction on their record? How do you pay for fines, court costs, probation/ankle monitor/drug test etc. fees when you're unemployeable? How do you pass background checks to rent an apartment? There's no justice when the wealthy and well-connected get to skip the difficult part of punishment.

@JohanDiederik @Strandjunker I once created a tee shirt with the stars on the U.S. flag replaced with a bunch of bananas., and a caption "Yes, we have no bananas."
Some people thought my drawing of a bunch of bananas was meant to represent marijuana, an interpretation that probably reflects my limited artistic skills.

@Strandjunker I think rich people in general shouldn't be eligible to wield political power. You can either have money power or political power ... wouldn't that be a radical new idea 😁 There's some holes in this, but we haven't tried it yet.

Trump is a scar on the reputation of the U.S.
He should not be permitted to take office.

@Strandjunker Inciting an insurrection should be enough all by itself. Democrats should call for a vote to immunize Trump from the 14th Amendment, it would take 2/3 of both houses to stand. Of course, then we'd have President Vance....smart evil instead of stupid evil.
