    makes no difference

    it is a state by state at this point in time like the cannabis issue and other laws have gone even Biden has gone for this

    either are born in a state with favorable laws or not and some are not allowed to vote and some candidates are barred already from participating and nobody fussed about that why is this any different

    Obama and Biden chained a candidate to chair for wanting to debate with Republicans and Democrats and they won that election and we voted Biden in

    why should anything block someone being eligible for president now nobody cares unless that person is Trump or someone wanting different options other than not Trump

      You realize it’s literally in the constitution that anyone taking part in an insurrection is barred from elected office (among other things) without 2/3rds approval from the house and senate?

      You want to know why “no one cared until Trump”? Because it literally hadn’t happened in our lifetimes. It’s really hard to hold people accountable for things that aren’t happening.
