        Depends on the felony for me, since there are some people who have felonies but have reformed and some people who have ridiculous felonies from the war on drugs designed to ruin the lives of minorities. Most states make posessing any quantity of herion a felony. Someone who has been clean for decades could still get my vote if they aligned with my views because past drug use they learned from is not a dealbreaker for me.

        Now violence based felonies or felonies related to running or being in office would be a hard no among some other ones.

          A felony related to climate protesting and the like wouldn’t bother me either. Not that it should be a felony in the first place, but it’s plausible with the way that protesting is being cracked down on in many jurisdictions.
