"Pennsylvania residents with Trump signs in their yard are reportedly receiving disturbing letters warning them that “there will be consequences” for supporting former President Donald Trump. “We know where you live, you are in the data base,” the anonymous author states in the letter, first obtained by The Post Millennial. “In the dead of a cold winters night, this year, or next and beyond, there is no knowing what will happen. Your property, your family may be impacted, your cat may get shot. And more.” The threatening message was written..."

I've mentioned several times here on GaG that I'm not really happy with either US Presidential candidate, and I am not alone.

Whether you feel the same or not, what should a voter do when they don't like either candidate?

Please vote in the poll.

If Trump won back in 2020 I have no doubt there would of be mass rioting across all the major cities in the USA including Washington DC. The summer BLM riots would just have been a prelude. It would of made J6 look like a picnic.

But now America got a full taste of the alternative for the last 4 years. Sure there will always be die hard democrats but a lot of moderates and swing voters have become very disillusioned with the DNC.

I predict there to be some rioting in November if Trump wins. It’s going to be ugly but not as bad as could be in 2024.

Anyway if you are planing on participating in this bs I say go right ahead. Go ahead because it will directly negate any “threat to democracy” bs argument you fixated on ad nauseam when it came to J6. Go ahead and make an ass out of yourself.

I like trump, if he doesn’t win then the country is doomed

Like every generation, once a majority of them are mature adults or middle-aged, they'll see newer decades as "modern" and then decades where they grew up as "old." Gen X perceives the 2000s as relatively modern, whereas Gen Z views them as retro. But, what do you think will be the last decade most of Gen Z will consider to be "old" by the time most of the time are mature adults?

Are the range of crimes that can fit beneath a 1-year sentence (misdemeanor) or a multi-year sentence (felony) adequate to communicate the severity of the crime to interested parties like employers, insurers, landlords, etc?

Should a level of charge that is say 30 or 60 days be created?

Should I level of charge that is say 1 to 5 or 6 to 10 years be created?

Should misdemeanors have an expiration date where they are dropped completely from official records? Only recorded as a misdemeanor with no obligation to disclose what it was?

Many stakeholders in the criminal justice system have advocated that felonies be categorized into violent or nonviolent with the intent being that a non-violent felonies do not need to be disclosed to employers unless it is absolutely germane to the job (like applying for an accountant if you've been convicted of tax evasion)?

Gun owners have advocated for the same in order that non-violent felons can keep their guns.

Do you have any thoughts about when minors are charged with MAJOR crimes and how that should be handled? Family court? Sealed records? Psychiatric incarceration? Lower the age or give DA more discretion to charge kids as adults?
