making it unconstitutional for a felon to run for office
A constitutional amendment needs a 2/3 vote in both the House and Senate, and then 3/4 of the states to ratify. Please do tell me how that would have been possible to achieve in 2021/22. The only value would have been the political benefit of making it a national issue, because there is zero chance it could have happened during Biden's time.

You're right! I know that (hence my comment about the electoral college) and just mistyped. I meant to write "illegal," not unconstitutional.
I also wonder about what they could've organized and accomplished on the state level, what amendments to state constitutions they could've gotten state ballots across the country. All political action can't happen at the federal level. And it's not like there isn't a roadmap: just do what the GOP has been doing for decades.
