If someone has been convicted of a crime, should they still be allowed to run for public office, in your opinion?

 @Freedom76 from South Carolina  commented…2yrs2Y

What a toxic, deranged witch – bitterly trying to destroy Trump's life and break up his family. She's nothing but a scumbag.

Just another day in the spectacle of capitalist politics, where the elite's dramas distract us from systemic change and real issues of justice and equality.

Despite the guilty verdict, Trump is still running for president. If he is ... to prison. Now that a wealthy white male has been convicted, they are vociferously tearing down the legitimacy of the legal system in favor of that convicted felon.

It's high time the powerful are held accountable, and Melania leaving would be a strong statement against the corruption and injustice rampant in our political system.

 @MellowProgressiveConservatism from Illinois  commented…2yrs2Y

Honestly, the media's obsession with private affairs and their incessant attacks on Trump are getting out of hand. Stormy Daniels piping up now just seems like another attempt to derail Trump's campaign with drama that has nothing to do with his abilities to lead. And questioning the fairness of the legal system only when it's convenient, seems like a double standard that undermines the very principles of justice and democracy.

Stormy Daniels standing up and speaking out is a powerful reminder that women should never be silenced or sidelined, especially when it comes to holding powerful men accountable.

Should personal scandals impact a politician's career, or should we only focus on their ability to govern?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would you feel if someone you supported was found guilty of a crime, but continued to pursue a position of power?

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
