Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples |
Healthcare › COVID Mask Mandate
8>8 Personal answerThe Federal Government should not unilaterally require it but local municipalities can in certain circumstances. |
Social › Abortion
8>8 Personal answerI consider myself more "Pro-life," but providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions. Abortions should also be allowed only in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child. |
Social › Gay Marriage
8>8 Personal answerMarriage should be a contractual agreement between consenting adults. Government shouldn't be involved. |
the Economy › Equal Pay
8>8 Personal answerYes and No. Businesses should be required to publish their salary ranges for each position, but only at a local scale and not a federal one. There are also too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
8>8 Personal answerRequire the background checks, psychological testing, training, but also pass a national "stand your ground" and conceal carry laws with less restrictions. If they already passed these tests, location restrictions don't make sense especially since they are usually high value targets. |
Social › Gun Buyback
8>8 Personal answerNo, increase mental health and background checks instead |
Social › Gender Identity
8>8 Personal answerI'd have to with "Yes" here. I feel we need new language to describe this... technically, gender IS biologically decided. However, I feel strongly that a person should be free to live life as they want to, and should not be forced to adhere to artificial "Gender Roles" or gender rules. The government should do more to protect minorities from discrimination, but only at a local and state level. Gender identity should be addressed with more funds for more research and care but voted on at the local level. |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
8>8 Personal answeryes, as long as the denial is not because of discrimination of someone else's beliefs or lifestyle. |
Social › Transgender Athletes
8>8 Personal answerYes and No. No, athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate if they do not match hormone levels and bodily physique levels of the age group's statistical "maximum." Yes, only if their hormone levels are equivalent to those in the gender category in which they compete. |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
8>8 Personal answerWe should not ban them however, there should be a screening process for all immigrants, not just muslims to decide if they are a threat to anyone, anything or national security. |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
8>8 Personal answerNo, and the government should not give funds to any organizations |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
8>8 Personal answerNo, the minimum wage was started to put a limit on how low to pay the young workers. In todays time, more and more single parents, senior citizens, and college students are working skilled jobs at minimum wage rates. Instead of raising minimum wage, we should reclassify what a minimum wage job is. Furthermore, we should establish minimum wage rates for different age groups, and have a tier system that classifies each job in tiers. Each tier's minimum rage should go up to the last tiers highest wage. Having 3-4 tiers in each age group would reduce the number of people at or under the poverty line, it will create better workers, and allow for less turn over. It will also reduce the number of unemployed workers. Jobs such as fast food, retail, gas station attendants etc, would be worked mainly by high school and college students, leaving more skilled jobs for working adults. |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
8>8 Personal answerYes, with proper training and certification. No, if an increase in the risk of accidental shootings predominantly occurs. |
the Environment › Climate Change
8>8 Personal answerNo, the people should be the main channel of defense against the changing climate, producing the most effective societal output towards the preservation of wildlife through free voluntary transactions and innovation. Politicians have a terrible track record when it comes to protecting the environment, though more incentives for alternative energy production should be implemented. |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
8>8 Personal answerNo, private businesses should decide the amount of competitive incentives they offer to employees instead of a government mandate |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
8>8 Personal answerYes, but currently only for marijuana. Release all other drug offenders in prison and put them in a rehabilitation program instead of having them rot in a cell. This will cut down our prison incarnation rate and free up prison space for more violent criminals. Additionally, unless someone committed a violent crime they should be sent to to a rehabilitation facility. |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
8>8 Personal answerYes, to prevent corruption and because there are some members of Congress who are becoming senile and should not be allowed to help make laws if they can't even vote by themselves. Require a psychological exam to prevent this, or maybe implement an age restriction for those that are running. |
Foreign Policy › Iran
8>8 Personal answerWar should be avoided. Until they pose and actual threat and show aggression we should strive for diplomatic solutions. |
the Economy › Taxes
8>8 Personal answerClose all loopholes so that they pay their fair share. Do not raise taxes on them, especially not billionaire corporations since they will raise prices on us. |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
8>8 Personal answerNo, service should be a choice instead of an obligation |
Social › Racial Sensitivity Training
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as it covers all protected groups (age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion) and is not based on critical race theory |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
8>8 Personal answerNo, targeting Muslims is unconstitutional, racist, and incendiary. This decision should be based on crime rates instead of race or religion |
Elections › Foreign Lobbying
8>8 Personal answerNo, but we should think about why there are foreign lobbyists, is it because our decisions will affect other countries? If it affects them negatively we should think more before doing something because having bad relations with a country is not good. |
Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
8>8 Personal answerYes and No. It should be taught as to what it means to be oppressed as any minority, what it means to be empowered as any minority. What it takes to empower yourself, educate yourself, and to be an independent-minded person who can form a conclusion when looking at history and becoming a critical thinker. It needs to not be brainwashing or white-washed but should remain unbiased in the foundation. Intersectionality and the 1619 Project should also be added to the curriculum. |
Immigration › Immigration
8>8 Personal answerYes, if they choose to apply for it. They didn't have a choice, as children, to come when their parents came, so give them the choice to apply for citizenship or return to their home country. |
Education › Free College for All
8>8 Personal answerNo, universities and colleges need to provide this education to students at a lower cost than they are currently, but not at the expense of crippling people's taxes nor the federal government bailing students out. Interest rates for student loans should be lessened and colleges should provide more scholarship opportunities for low-income students. |
Education › Student Loans
8>8 Personal answerNo, but we should still reduce interest rates for student loans |
Social › Death Penalty
8>8 Personal answerNo, too many people are innocently convicted |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
8>8 Personal answerlegal immigrants should be subject to the law within the U.S.. Illegal immigrants should be deported. |
Social › Confederate Flag
8>8 Personal answerNo, it is a symbol of racism, separatism and treason |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
8>8 Personal answerNo, it is unconstitutional to deny someone’s rights without due process |
Social › Government Mandates
8>8 Personal answerYes, except for religious organizations and charities that oppose the use of contraception |
Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Reform
8>8 Personal answerNo, and the Supreme Court should not be politicized |
Domestic Policy › NSA Domestic Surveillance
8>8 Personal answerNo, only with a warrant showing probable cause of criminal activity |
Social › Women in Combat
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as they can pass the same physical tests as men |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
8>8 Personal answerNo, only if they are convicted of a violent crime |
Healthcare › Medicaid
8>8 Personal answerMedicaid is often a viable source of health care for millions of americans, and i think it should be supported. But I do belive that a type of insight into those who abuse the sysem. If you work full time but still do not make adequate funds for private insurance, then it should be an option. There are millions of people however that abuse this system and this is why the system overall is brought into question. |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
8>8 Personal answerNo, social media companies are private and should not be regulated by the government |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
8>8 Personal answerRegardless, this should be decided at the state level, but if the government had to intervene then it should only be for deadly contagious diseases. |
Immigration › Border Security
8>8 Personal answerYes, and enforce the immigration laws as intended, allow for better entry/exit visa tracking, and help honest immigrants obtain work visas based on a merit system that can be used to help them obtain citizenship if they desired. |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
8>8 Personal answerNo, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender |
Immigration › Sanctuary Cities
8>8 Personal answerNo, the federal government should not fund sanctuary cities. however the federal government cannot ban sanctuary cities since this is within the jurisdiction of the states and cities involved. Let state's/local governments decide if they want to make their city a "Sanctuary City" or fund sanctuary cities within their state. |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
8>8 Personal answerYes, if they pay taxes, have no criminal record, pass a drug test, and plan on becoming citizens of the United States. |
Elections › Campaign Finance
8>8 Personal answerNo, make it so politicians can't pocket money and can only receive money if it is for a political campaign/political resource. However, all donations should be public knowledge. |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
8>8 Personal answerYes, create a simple path to citizenship for immigrants with no criminal record |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
8>8 Personal answerKeep current rates for large multinational corporations but eliminate deductions and loopholes for such large corporations and lower tax rates for small businesses. |
Elections › Voter Fraud
8>8 Personal answerYes and No, this will disadvantage those who do not have the resources to obtain one, but will prevent voter fraud though there is little evidence that voter fraud even exists. In order to preserve integrity in the notion of our elections, voter ID should be subsidized locally, not by the taxes of local citizens but rather by the government (such as a subsidized DMV), allowing for use in primary or general elections. |
Social › Safe Spaces
8>8 Personal answerNo, college is meant to challenge students thoughts and opinions so they are prepared for real life |
Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
8>8 Personal answerYes, but the sections involving surveillance and criminalization are too broad. Also, limit the scope of the government’s powers |
the Economy › Government Spending
8>8 Personal answerNo, focus on ending tax evasion, remove loopholes that corporations can take, slightly increase taxes on the wealthy, and increase taxes on large multinational corporations. |
Foreign Policy › Israel
8>8 Personal answerWe should give equal support to Israel and Palestine. |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › NATO
8>8 Personal answerYes, but NATO should focus more on counter-terrorism strategies |
Immigration › Border Wall
8>8 Personal answerStop building the wall, allow more in-depth amnesty plans, allow more transparent visas, and allow for undocumented immigrants to become citizens based off of a quicker test. Be transparent with immigration facilities. |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
8>8 Personal answerNo, they should have a choice but it should be heavily recommended, seeing as it is our countries main language. |
Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
8>8 Personal answerNo, this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices |
Social › First Amendment
8>8 Personal answerNo, religion is an important aspect of our country’s history |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
8>8 Personal answerDepending on if the firearm user is the one being injured, say you purchased a faulty firearm and attempted to fire it and it backfires on you, hurting your arm, then you should be able to fault the manufacturer or dealer, but only in that scenario. Otherwise, Yes and No. Manufacturers shouldn't be held responsible, but dealers should be responsible to an extent (Such as if they did no background checks or testing.) |
Crime › Defunding the Police
8>8 Personal answerNo, unless excessive funding is being given to police in a particular community at the expense of education and other beneficial social programs. Most of the time it is not that one needs to take from another, but that both need more attention. |
Social › Niqāb
8>8 Personal answerYes, we should respect all cultural traditions |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
8>8 Personal answerNeither decrease or increase, regardless who does the job it should get done ti a high standard regardless of price or nationality. |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
8>8 Personal answerIf we categorise immigrants into three categories; general immigrants, asylum seekers from listed war torn countries and highly skilled immigrants. General immigrants and highly skilled should be expected to have some form of integration citizenship test. For those who are in the asylum seeker category, we should looked to provide safety and support first and foremost before trying to integrate them if they wish to remain after their country has been deemed safe for return. |
Crime › Mandatory minimum prison sentences
8>8 Personal answerNo unless a violent crime is committed and if so punitive measures should be related to the violent crime and not drug possession |
Social › Euthanasia
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice |
Domestic Policy › Affirmative Action
8>8 Personal answerYes; however, some colleges and universities are taking it too far and not accepting non-minority based students with the same academic achievements and credentials. Therefore, we should still implement it but race should not be one of the leading factors over whether or not someone gets accepted into the school. |
the Economy › Universal Basic Income
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only the minimum income required to keep people above the poverty line |
the Economy › Welfare
8>8 Personal answerMore, reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income |
Domestic Policy › Flag Burning
8>8 Personal answerYes, but this should only be illegal if it is clear it was done as an act representing hostility to the American nation or by non-US citizens on US soil. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
8>8 Personal answerHelp, in theory but have recently become corrupt and should have their powers limited |
the Economy › Economic Stimulus
8>8 Personal answerYes, in the form of increased spending on infrastructure, assisting sectors most heavily hit by the recession, and tax breaks for all citizens |
Elections › Campaign Finance
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as they are following the will of the stockholders, union members, and organization members. |
the Environment › Dakota Access Pipeline
8>8 Personal answerNo, but reroute the pipeline away from Native American land and land that would be very negatively effected by a spill, and drastically increase the amount of fines the company must pay in the event of an accident. |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
8>8 Personal answerYes, test welfare recipients for drugs outside of those that are of controversy such as marijuana, while also testing to see if they have reason to have welfare. Ex., are they being lazy and choosing not to work? Do they have a fake handicap or disability, or one that is not that important? |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
8>8 Personal answerNo, increasing the capital gains tax will limit investment in our economy |
Education › Common Core
8>8 Personal answerNo, teach to each student's potential instead of uniform testing while also keeping education handled at the state and local level instead of the national level. |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
8>8 Personal answerYes, but deny eligibility for financial assistance and scholarships unless such immigrants are in the process of amnesty or of having a reliable visa. |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
8>8 Personal answerYes and No. Provide more incentives for alternative energy production while deregulating the energy offshore oil drilling sector to let the free market determine the best energy sources |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
8>8 Personal answerYes, and use the U.N. peacekeeping forces to protect our interests |
Foreign Policy › Afghanistan
8>8 Personal answerWe should also reduce the number of troops slowly and aid the country in establishing/maintaining a stable and fair government, while also investigating why opioid addiction has skyrocketed since the invasion. |
Healthcare › Obamacare
8>8 Personal answerYes, like people with preexisting conditions should not be denied healthcare. But, if done wrong, governmental subsidized healthcare increases wait times and become really inefficient and expensive. We should keep it until a good replacement is passed, though. |
the Environment › Fracking
8>8 Personal answerYes, apply appropriate oversight, no subsidies, and mandate cost of energy = cost to produce energy + cost to environment/cleanup . |
Elections › Candidate Transparency
8>8 Personal answerNo, tax returns have nothing to do with their ability to perform their duties |
the Economy › Overtime Pay
8>8 Personal answerNo, and the government is currently over-regulating private businesses |
Elections › Lobbyists
8>8 Personal answerYes, and reform the system of lobbying to fight corruption |
Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
8>8 Personal answerNo, the government should never be allowed to seize private property, but Seizures should ONLY happen when it benefits the public community AND the owner should be compensated at 110% of the value. |
Elections › Electoral College
8>8 Personal answerNo, but switch to a ranked voting system and reform the Electoral College so that votes are distributed proportionally instead of the current winner take all system. |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
8>8 Personal answerNeither, They should only increase the military spending when it necessary. |
Science › Nuclear Energy
8>8 Personal answerYes, gradually with heavy regulation while we also invest in research into better nuclear (thorium, fusion) and renewable; solar, wind, geothermal, wave. |
Foreign Policy › Torture
8>8 Personal answerNo, and we should strictly follow the laws of the Geneva Convention |
Elections › Criminal Politicians
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence, as long as the crime was not committed while in office, as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime, and as long as they are not under investigation of a crime, |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
8>8 Personal answerIncrease, but only for countries that have no human rights violations |
Foreign Policy › Drones
8>8 Personal answerNo, the military has no right to do so without a Congressional declaration of war |
Science › GMO Labels
8>8 Personal answerNo, this is not the job of the government and should be handled by independent neutral organizations, and by the people. |
Education › Universal Pre-K
8>8 Personal answerNo, but subsidize it for low-income families. |
Transportation › Public Transportation
8>8 Personal answerYes, but it should be the responsibility of the local government instead of the national government, and it should only be if the spending goes towards environmentally friendly solutions |
Education › Charter Schools
8>8 Personal answerYes and No. I believe that both private and public schools should be improved, and parents should have the freedom to choose where they’d like to send their children, but not at the expense of funding public schools nor at the expense of improving public schools and increasing teacher wages to be fundamentally suitable towards a non-impoverished lifestyle. |
Immigration › Dual Citizenship
8>8 Personal answerYes, unless they have committed a crime or an act of terrorism. |
the Economy › Estate Tax
8>8 Personal answerYes, and government should never steal money from anyone. Individuals have the natural right to rule themselves, make their own choices, and choose their own lifestyles. |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
8>8 Personal answerYes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
8>8 Personal answerYes, though I do not think we need to ban them (not completely banned, just very limited and start the percentage lower and increase it gradually), but more importantly increase recycling so that way more people can recycle more often (also increase taxes on companies that make products that contain less than 50% of biodegradable materials to incentive them to make biodegradable products, try to replace most of—if not all—plastic with more biodegradable material) and increase consumer incentives to recycle these products |
National Security › Military Congressional Approval
8>8 Personal answerNo, Congress should approve all military conflicts as allowing the president to conduct military force without any Congressional approval will open up the doors to imperialism and more wars. We should also include a national referendum to examine the views of the people prior to authorizing any military force on the government scale. |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
8>8 Personal answerNot constitutional rights necessarily but human rights should be respected, internationally agreed upon |
the Environment › Paris Climate Agreement
8>8 Personal answerThe Paris Agreement is not effective to curb climate change and is rather a way for countries to give the illusion of action to their people. Treat global warming as an urgent national security issue, solve it, and then let a thousand economic flowers bloom. In any case, feckless accords of this nature are not ideal but as it is non-binding, I don't really care. |
the Economy › Tech Monopolies
8>8 Personal answerNot break them up, but make sure they don't monopolize industries or harm other business interests |
National Security › Foreign Assassination
8>8 Personal answerYes and No, the United States should not assassinate any suspected terrorist without concrete, undeniable evidence that they have attacked or are planning to attack our nation. Also, once such evidence were to manifest itself we should then obtain both congressional approval along with approval from that sovereign state to enter their country to capture, not kill, said suspected terrorist. It also depends on the situation and the severity of the suspected terrorist. If the situation can be easily solved by capturing and allowing a fair trial; but frankly, sometimes it's morally necessary for someone to pull the trigger. Assassinations should be a last resort- just see what happened with Franz Ferdinand. He was killed and the world marched to war. |
Foreign Policy › NATO
8>8 Personal answerYes, but we should gradually scale back defense, and allow these nations to develop their own defenses. |
Science › Space Exploration
8>8 Personal answerYes, but make sure that some funding is going towards saving the Earth and decreasing national deficit. |
the Economy › China Tariffs
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › NAFTA
8>8 Personal answerNo, we should renegotiate NAFTA in order to project worker's rights, environmental rights, and human rights |
Domestic Policy › Political Advertising on Social Media
8>8 Personal answerThis is an important topic but it is unclear if this should be solved by law. The appropriate application of law is probably via another channel, namely monopoly approaches. |
the Economy › Offshore Banking
8>8 Personal answerNo, too many wealthy citizens are abusing loopholes in offshore banking laws to evade taxes |
Foreign Policy › India Arms
8>8 Personal answerNo, we must use diplomatic options first to try and resolve this conflict peacefully. |
Domestic Policy › Edward Snowden
8>8 Personal answerI stand neutral. I think what he did was good so society knows they're being watched, but I don't think it was good that he revealed private government files to the public. |
Foreign Policy › NSA Surveillance
8>8 Personal answerYes, but coordinate with Allies |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
8>8 Personal answerYes but if they violate any terms or are suspected or harbouring terrorists, the embargo goes back into place |
Foreign Policy › Jerusalem
8>8 Personal answerIt should not be up to the United States and other world powers as to what is the capital of any foreign nation, rather up to the citizens of that nation. |
Foreign Policy › F-35
8>8 Personal answerListen to military experts on this |
Domestic Policy › Air Force One
8>8 Personal answerYes, after a cost analysis that reveals it is less costly to produce new planes than maintaining the old planes. |
