    My man Eugen Debbs ran from prison in the early 1900s. He was thrown in prison for speaking out again the war (the first amendment wasn’t much protection back in the day).

    It is good that he could run, since he was a political prisoner. He advocated for the common man against the corrupt institutions.

      Agreed. There are situations where it totally makes sense to have a felon run for president. This isn’t one of them
