There’s a difference between “ideas shift over time” which is democracy and “I pretended to be a candidate for the other party and then pulled a bait & switch when I got elected” which is fucking fraud.
Personally, if I were God Emperor (ie if it was up to me) this asshole would get 20 years.
Bait and switch is bad, certainly, my lord God Emperor, 20 years? Isn’t that excessive?
For defrauding the public and eroding the trust in our political institutions?
Fuck with elections, sit out for 5 election cycles. Certainly more deserving than anyone in a cell block over some weed.
