I don't agree. How do you clearly define this bar without any sort of grey area, which is needed, as different candidates will have different issues.
A criminal record is a clear bar you could implement if one wished. Or a criminal offense less then x years perhaps.
As much as Trump showed us the terrifying reality that can occur, at some point you must trust the populace to not support a racist ignorant COVID denier.
If they get a elected, by splitting the vote or majority of votes, it is a reflection on at least a large amount of people wanted.
We can't simply outlaw candidates because we find them distasteful, the vote has to be allowed to be held, and the restrictions on being a candidate should error on allowing more to run then less.
And I find Kevin J absolutely embarrassing that his running here, even if he isn't from here, but so be it.
