Polls: Society & Politics

For the record I am completely fine with women pursuing high level careers and being fully independent. I am even happy we live in a country were a woman can run for president if she wants to. While I believe Kamala Harris’ policy would be horrible for our country that doesn’t mean I am against women running for president.

But I am pissed off how her campaigners use the “oh her detractors are just misogynists” bs. Most men who are voting against her just don’t like her policy. It has nothing to do with her just being a woman.

But I am beyond fed up with women bragging about being “strong and independent” in the modern western society. Any woman could be 100% financially and socially independent from men if she wants to in 2024. In fact she will often have an advantage her equal male counterpart when it comes to corporations hiring and promoting her to be “woke”.

Anyway it’s nothing to brag about in 2024. In fact it should come as no surprise that women are able to achieve this level of independence since they are “equal to men”, right? It should be the natural order of things.

Now this would all be a different story for women living in middle eastern countries. But I am just sick of hearing “we are fighting against patriarchy” in west. Sure you will find isolated incidents but it’s not mainstream and hasn’t been for quite some time.

A third world war (World War 3) may or may not ever happen. But if it did, where do you think it would start?

The Russians didn’t hesitate. Not sure they’re wrong or right…

Trump said he went to ground zero on 9/11 and even helped clear rubble and had to be evacuated when a building started to make cracking noises.

None of that is true. He was doing radio interview bragging that his building was now the tallest in NYC.

I saw him at the RNC convention in his first speech after the incident. He wouldn't kiss his wife, and when he was talking he was so sad and low energy. A couple weeks later he seemed to be back to his old provocative self, but then he got angry over Biden dropping out of the race, because he said he wasn't prepared to debate Kamala, and it seemed like he was scared of her. I didn't watch the debate, but I heard that he got smoked and he held back and didn't capitalize on opportunities. Now Kamala who said she will only do one debate, is asking for another debate and Trump, who's usually the one pushing for this sort of things, says he does not want another debate. He also hasn't been saying as many controversial things as he had in the past.

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.
