The law that lets convicted felons run for president senate and house.

We have a criminal problem in our government.

1. That would definately give us a majority everywhere!

Excellent idea.

2. There are a lot of politicians with misdemeanors on their records

We’d lose some good democratic politicians if this went into effect.

4. Misdemenors

Are not felonies.

I dont think there are many Dems with felonies
In office.

3. A Big Criminal Element Seems To Be Present In Our........

government. The problem is ACCOUNTABILITY.

Until the criminals are held accountable the criminal element will continue to suceed.

6. Changing that law

However banning felons would bar a lot of republicans from running
For office..

7. The "law" is the Constitution.

The Constitution allows someone with a criminal record to run for federal office.

8. Well the law says felons cant vote.

Republicans dont give a shit about the constitution.

And if they overturn Roe vs. Wade it will prove they don't care about rights or the consitution.


Republicans are fascists and we are not in normal times.

We have to do whatever it takes to get criminals out of government. Why?democracy will be in danger as long as criminals can run for office.

9. It is a myth that felons can't vote.

Only three states - Kentucky, Iowa and Virginia - bar felons who have completed their sentences from voting.
