Not just a felon, but the type of crime he committed should exclude him from consideration. I just don't get how we let our laws become some perverse as to allow this.

Don’t ask how the name was made, it’s nonsense, just like the actions associated with the concept.

Decades ago - Liking the USSR made one “far left”
Years ago - Wanting everyone to have healthcare made one “far left”
