One local activist from Hampton Roads has filed an injunction on Dec. 18 to remove former President Donald Trump from the Virginia's 2024 Presidential Primary Election.
This is how elections work for everyday criminals, and if people are being imprisoned for the actions of Trump, then why is Trump exempt from those rules?
Criminals cannot vote except in select states. And it isn’t like the people haven’t fought for those rights. Republicans have put stops to them.
This is more of a problem of Republican policy, eating at Republican actions.
There’s nothing stopping a convicted criminal from running, so long as they meet the usual requirements. Unless the crime is insurrection, where the 14th amendment kicks in. And Trump participated in Jan 6th so he’s out.
Okay so they typed “your” instead of “you” but the fact remains that there’s one action which can cause you to be banned from becoming President (or a congressperson) and that action is insurrection. It was perfectly clear.
Other disqualifications (age, birthplace) aren’t under one’s control. Insurrection is a CHOICE.

This is not the correct interpretation. There’s only insurrection that can get your banned - and that’s exactly what he did.
Could you please elaborate on this? I have no idea what you are trying to say here.

Still need to follow due process. If he is guilty (and he probably is), you’ve got to convict him.
