A missed opportunity and unintended pun. Thank you!

I think anyone should be able to run, felon or not. Otherwise it would be possible to control who holds a democratically elected office by controlling the legal system. What appals me is that Americans can lose their vote if convicted, that limits the vote in socio-economically disadvantaged groups.
The democratic problem of Trump running for office is that the two party system, in the US, then only have one reasonable candidate and this reduces representation for conservative voters who aren't complete idiots.

He's probably not getting locked up since it's his first felonies, that he's been convicted of. Most like a fine and probation but he will have to ask his parole officer to leave the state. His supporters are unlikely to care about this and he's still expected to be the Republican presidential candidates, which tells you everything you need to know about that party imho.

Same, but the difference for me was that schools here don't prioritize sports and guns are heavily regulated here. It's just the toxic culture that let's sociopaths run free.
