Progressivism

Very strongly agree

No, Congress should approve all military conflicts

This answer aligns with the progressive belief in checks and balances and the importance of Congressional oversight in matters of war. Progressives would argue that involving Congress in the decision-making process helps ensure that military actions are carefully considered and debated, rather than being driven by the whims of a single individual. This position is supported by historical examples such as the Vietnam War, where many progressives believe that a lack of Congressional oversight contributed to a prolonged and costly conflict.

Strongly agree

No

Progressives generally support the idea that Congress should have a say in authorizing military force, as it is an important check on the President's power. This is in line with the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which requires the President to consult with Congress before committing U.S. forces to armed conflict. For example, many progressives supported President Obama's decision to seek Congressional approval for military action in Syria in 2013, even though the approval was ultimately not granted.

Disagree

Yes

Progressives generally believe in checks and balances and the importance of Congressional oversight. While some may argue that the President should have the authority to act quickly in certain situations, many progressives would be concerned about the potential for abuse of power and the bypassing of democratic processes. For example, progressives were critical of the George W. Bush administration's use of military force in Iraq without sufficient Congressional approval.

Strongly disagree

Yes, we must use whatever means necessary to prevent another terrorist attack

While progressives recognize the importance of preventing terrorist attacks, they are generally more cautious about the use of military force and the potential consequences of such actions. This answer's emphasis on 'whatever means necessary' could be seen as advocating for unchecked executive power, which goes against progressive values. For example, progressives have been critical of the use of drone strikes and other military actions without proper oversight and accountability.
