You believe in a society where free markets and individual liberty coexist with democratic governance, aiming for economic prosperity, social justice, and political freedom for all.
Democratic capitalism, also known as liberal capitalism, is a socio-economic model that combines a democratic political system with a capitalist economic system. It is characterized by free markets, private ownership, and the protection of individual rights. The ideology is rooted in the principles of economic freedom, equality, and political democracy.
The concept of democratic capitalism emerged during the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century, when philosophers such as John Locke and Adam Smith began to advocate for individual rights, free markets, and limited government interv…

When making a purchase, how do you weigh personal benefit against the ethical reputation of a company?
@9LFWHD51mo1MO
When making a purchase I don't weigh personal benefit against ethical reputation of a company.
@9LFX3HX1mo1MO
I really only think about myself, not corporate greed. Although I do like smaller companies.
@9LFWSVB1mo1MO
You put a scale up for things and see the worth of it.

What is your biggest concern about how money influences politics and what could be done to address it?
@anniem2mos2MO
I think money has a negative effect on politics, but I'm not sure how to fix it
@9KSQD392mos2MO
Corporations that do the bidding of politicians are more likely to get government contracts. This gives them incentives to push certain agendas and restrict free speech on the government’s behalf.
@9KSFK6N2mos2MO
I am most concerned with how our politicians are so easily influenced by financial gain. I think creating policies prohibiting bribes and other forms coercion.
@9KSN6LHRepublican2mos2MO
Objective moral values and duties, which have given framework to the Judeo-Christian society we benefit from, are derived from these teachings, therefore to raise moral children they should understand these principles
@9KSFK8L2mos2MO
They should not be able to receive money from donors.
@9KSFS9B2mos2MO
It influences it too much. This is not a capitalism problem, its a lack of regulation on lobbyists

In what way has social media exposure to global issues affected your thinking about responsible consumerism?
@9KSJ7ZM2mos2MO
It has a hypnotizing affect on individuals, it's like a sensory overload bomb went off right in your face. confuses people's thoughts.
@9KSJ4YR2mos2MO
It has made me more aware of plastic waste and other issues that affect our earth negatively.
@9KSJ3NC2mos2MO
That politicians and other leaders want to ban social media because it gives us real information while the news gives mostly false information

How do you feel when you see a local mom-and-pop shop competing with big corporations?
@9L5CBHD1mo1MO
When I see a local mom-and-pop-shop, I would rather purchase items from there rather than a big corporation who has the money to easily pay their employers, merchandise, food, and bills. Local mom-and-pop-shops do not get as much exposure as big corporations nor do they get as much money as them. The local shops usually only have their shop as their only income to support themselves and their families.
As long as they don't change anything about what that believe.
@9L5827Y1mo1MO
I love it like they be have food places. the food is way better at the mom-and-pop shop.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Can a company's reputation for social responsibility influence your purchasing decisions, and why or why not?
@9KFY9742mos2MO
The more you buy from a certain company, the more income they will receive.
@9KFXCVBLibertarian 2mos2MO
no if its a good quality and dosint support terrist groups (BLM, LGBTQ+) then I'm fine with using it
@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
How do you navigate the desire for cheaper goods with concerns about the conditions in which they are produced?
@9LDXZVN1mo1MO
they should be produced in a way that should be safe to eat
@9LFNTP41mo1MO
It is extremely unethical to sell a product knowing it is potentially dangerous. Companies need to be held liable for endangering its customers. They should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law when selling knowingly harmful goods. The FDA recalls hundreds of millions of food units every quarter. This was resources wasted that could have been used to produce more safe food.
@9LDY9K2Progressive1mo1MO
Make most good for sell be localy grown or porduced. This will decrease copetition for large corpration, and result in a decrease in price of good, and keep the qualtiy good. Goods that must be manufactured can continue to be so aslong as they can be localy manufactured and that can't will be imported form a place that is producing good quality products.
@9LDXZGT1mo1MO
debates bout the appropriate balance between these issues.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
To what extent do you believe your voice or vote impacts economic decisions that affect your everyday life?
@9HTQRSG4mos4MO
I believe I have a voice and it impacts economy decisions if i need to speak up about something important to me.
@9HWQTMT4mos4MO
I have a voice, but other people's voices are magnified by huge piles of money. So my voice alone does not have a demonstrable impact on the economy or economic policy.
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
Which is why we must remove the greater voices of those with the money. Those that are qualified and voted for by the people should hold the permitted power of the people. It should be able to be taken away at the merest whim of the people if they show themselves to be horrible.
@9HTQHML4mos4MO
I don’t think it affects me because I don’t publicly state what I vote for.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
In what ways do you believe your personal freedom would be affected in a system where capitalism is overseen by democratic principles?
@9HDDNDX5mos5MO
I feel like my freedom would be restricted in someway or another. I feel that the democratic principles would start to lean more more to a socialism way of life and I don't like that idea at all you work for your money and the why you live you aint free loading off of me.
@9HDDNK35mos5MO
We won't have our own opinion on what is right and what is wrong
@9HDDMDX5mos5MO
I don't think as many people would have guns or be able to vocalize their religious opinions.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you think economic growth and social justice can be balanced effectively in democratic capitalism?
@9HDHL9N5mos5MO
If "social justice" can be whatever an activist gets upset at for no reason, no.
@9HDHKYZIndependent5mos5MO
everything in this country is controlled by people we don't see, it even reaches other nations. blackrock and vanguard don't just have shareholders in every company in the umbrella for laughs.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How does your vision of the 'American Dream' fit within the framework of democratic capitalism?
I think it is plausible but extremely difficult for some individuals without a lot of opportunities
@9J235H74mos4MO
The 'American Dream' is often associated with the idea that anyone, regardless of their background, can achieve success and prosperity through hard work and determination.
