Polls: Society & Politics

In Tennessee, our state's law is very open and lenient on citizen's arrest. If I witness any crime, whether misdemeanor or felony, I can take the suspect into custody as a private citizen. If I reasonably believe a felony has been committed, but did not witness it, I can make an arrest too. Any civilian can.

My hometown is starting to look more shady and ghettoish. It is only a matter of time until I witness something. I thought about arresting those who dangerously tailgate me for reckless driving. Some woman tailgated me almost to my bumper today.

In her first answer, Harris tried to set out both her own story as a child of the middle class and how she intended to build an opportunity economy for others, lowering food and housing costs and opening the way for more small businesses. It was a lot, quickly, and she looked a little nervous.

Then Trump spoke and it was clear he was going off the rails. His first comment was to suggest Harris was lying, and then to insist that his proposed tariffs will solve everything, although he has the way tariffs work entirely backward: they are paid by the consumer, not by foreign countries. As he followed with a long list of his rally lies, Harris started to smile.

From then on, he continued to produce rally stories full of wild exaggerations and attack Harris with lies in what CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale called “a staggeringly dishonest debate performance from former president Trump.” "No major presidential candidate before Donald Trump has ever lied with this kind of frequency,” Dale said. “A remarkably large chunk of what he said tonight was just not true. This wasn't little exaggerations, political spin. A lot of his false claims were untethered to reality." As Harris spoke directly to the American people, growing stronger and stronger, Trump got wilder and angrier and told more and more crazy stories.

And then, about ten minutes into the debate, Harris baited him. She invited the American people to go to one of his rallies, where “he talks about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter, he will talk about ‘windmills cause cancer.’ And what you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom.”

Trump lost it. He defended his rallies, said Harris couldn’t get anyone to attend hers and has to bus in attendees (in reality, her rallies are packed and he is the one who reportedly hires attendees), and then, in his fury, repeated the lie about immigrants eating pets.

Regulations protect us from unsafe products, dangerous workplaces, harmful foods, unsafe drugs, fraud, monopolization, unfair labor practices, and environmental hazards.

When Trump (and Musk) equate regulations with waste or inefficiency, what they’re really saying is that big corporations ought to be able to wreak as much harm on the public as they want, if doing so enlarges their profits.

I have been prepping for a possible Kamalatoe/Tampon Tim administration. I purchased a bunch of medical supplies. In addition, I have been stocking up on water and nonperishable food items. I have been preparing for civil unrest.

I have IV supplies and wound care supplies. I purchased (2) 500ml bags of normal saline, (3) 18G IV catheters, (3) 20G IV catheters, (2) macro drop sets, (2) int/extension sets, and among other supplies.

Kamala Harris supports fracking and closing the border. Do you the support this as well?

Cities are arguably worthless in national elections.

I've had this discussion with my friends of all races and most people said white people. But for me it's a tie between white people and Indian people especially for where I live. White people have literally killed off every race and have made racial slurs for most races. And still get advantage in court systems and make other races get looked down on. The kkk literally destroyed black lives and only now have they come to get arrested after like 40 or so years now? But regarding the Indian people they just talk shit about everyone in their language. And just keep to thier own and never try to help anyone out unless they are Indian. They will only hire thier own race. What are your thoughts?

"We want freedom!" Says a lot of people but what good will do with everyone is free that you can't do anything without others getting in your way? On the other hand, it would also sound like a dream if you live in such a safe and peaceful society but have the government get involved with your life a lot and it can get really boring that is if you don't have any real hobbies or purpose.

No actual plans just 'concepts of one' hmmmm

Just FYI I openly admit that Trump lost last night’s debate and I say that as a moderate conservative.

I also believe it was the most disgustingly biased moderated debate in American history that doesn’t mean I won’t admit Trump put on poor performance. He got (understandably) frustrated and let his ego get the better of him. He let Kamala get under his skin. He’s no stranger to hostile environments either. All he needed to do was respond with “well why didn’t you do that as VP Kamala?” when she gave her bs promises. But he didn’t respond like that until the very end of the debate. He should of done that from the start.

I am also very suspicious about how Kamala never seemed surprised by any question that was asked of her. I watched her primary 2020 debates. I also remember her VP debate with Mike Pence. That was the most comfortable she ever looked in a debate. Ever.

Sure the questions were mostly anti-Trump (the one loaded question asking Trump about Kamala’s race made me want to vomit). She also had the moderators debating Trump for her. But considering how disgustingly obvious it was that ABC was anti-Trump would I be a conspiracy theorist to believe she was likely leaked the debate questions in advance? For now I would like to pretend she wasn’t, but if there is any shred of verified evidence is released about this later I will quickly change my mind

Anyway I predict that the Harris campaign will take that win and run with it. They will do all they can to keep Kamala out of future debates. They will also continue to keep her away from any interview where she will unexpectedly get asked a tough question.

Anyone, Canadian or non-Canadian, can have their say.

NOT who the media claims won, but who YOU think won
