The problem with disqualifying anyone based on any crimes is that it would enable the current ruling party to stick crimes on the opposition to eliminate the competition.

As an example, Trump didn't get elected because he was convicted of 34 felonies.

Oh wait, maybe the possibility of false crime accusations don't fucking matter when real ones aren't a hurdle to getting elected.

Lol right? Let's stop pretending sexual assault or even pedophilia allegations do ANY HARM when the FUCKING PRESIDENT IS ONE. Let's stop silencing victims' stories of abuse out of concern for their abuser since it doesn't matter anyway, it doesn't hurt the perpetrator clearly, and just helps the victim to let them share. It also helps other victims be informed. I'm so fucking done with that line of speech now.
