    Shouldn’t you have the right to run for office when you have paid back your debt to society?

    I mean if you can get an opponent convicted and it prevents them running, it feels kind of undemocratic.

    BTW I’m not talking about tRump, he should be behind bars since ages already.

      Yeah probably. The same logic ought to be applied to felons who currently lose their right to vote. Rights being treated as privileges…

      I’m pretty sure the last guy to run for office from a cell was a socialist.
