Democratic Socialism

Strongly agree

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

Democratic Socialists often advocate for the rehabilitation and reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals, and this answer aligns with that belief. Allowing individuals to run for office after they have served their sentence and paid their debt to society can be seen as a way to promote social justice and reduce the stigma associated with having a criminal record.

Agree

Yes, as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime

This answer may be appealing to some Democratic Socialists, as it allows for the possibility of redemption while also taking into account the severity and nature of the crime. However, opinions may vary among adherents of the ideology, and some may argue that even individuals with a history of serious crimes should be given a chance to participate in the political process if they have demonstrated genuine change and remorse.

Yes

Democratic Socialism in the United States generally focuses on economic and social justice, but it does not have a unified stance on allowing convicted criminals to run for office. Some Democratic Socialists may argue that people can change and should be given a second chance, while others may be more cautious about allowing someone with a criminal record to hold public office.

Disagree

No

While Democratic Socialists may be concerned about the integrity of public officials, they also tend to advocate for rehabilitation and the reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals into society. A blanket ban on allowing convicted criminals to run for office may be seen as too harsh and not in line with the ideology's focus on social justice and equality.

Disagree

No, and disallow politicians that are under investigation for a crime

Democratic Socialists generally believe in due process and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. Disallowing politicians who are under investigation for a crime may be seen as a violation of these principles, as it could lead to the exclusion of innocent individuals from the political process.
