Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Healthcare › COVID Mask Mandate
8>8 Personal answerWhile I believe everyone should just shut up and put on their masks, I am not sure the federal government should say anything. Most commercial companies require a mask any ways so there is not much of a point for the government to mandate this. It could allow the federal government to supersede states rights yet again. |
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as they pass the same background checks, but individual adoption agencies (especially religious adoption agencies) should not be forced to violate their beliefs. |
Social › Abortion
8>8 Personal answerPro-life |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
8>8 Personal answerNo, only for criminals and the mentally ill |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
8>8 Personal answerYes, but instances of false reporting by citizens and/or criminals being caught on the cameras should be handled accordingly and person should be charged |
Social › Marital Rape
8>8 Personal answerYes. But, regret does not equal rape. The government should stay out of this beyond letting the existing rape laws be enforced with requisite evidentiary elements and high standard of proof. |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as funding is not used for abortion procedures |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
8>8 Personal answerIt should be up to the state |
the Environment › Climate Change
8>8 Personal answerEnvironmental regulations is somewhat vague. I do not believe that the EPA should be given free reign to dictate our lives. We frankly don't know 10% of the damn environmental history of our planet. while I am not sure how much of this "warming" is attributed to the past 100 yrs of industrilization we are not near a breaking point. I do have the foresight to acknowledge that we do need to take this seriously and begin to reduce our pollution and to become mor eefficient with all resources because everything is finite and our population will continue to explode throughout this century. All that shit to be said, I believe in added regulations that do not cripple businesses, hamstring the economy, run off investors etc, if we could add regulations over time or in a manner that could ease us into the place where we need to be to not break the markets then thats what we should do. |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
8>8 Personal answerNo, only marijuana, but 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. |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
8>8 Personal answerNo, politicians are not meant to serve for life, however people should have the right to re-elect someone if they feel that the representative is doing a good job in office. There are other ways to limit the corruption of politics. |
the Economy › Taxes
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
8>8 Personal answerI am not sure how this question is in voters minds. I would say no, because ultimately i believe in a persons right to choose, I do beleive that there should be a 1-4 years program for folks to join the military where an emphasis is placed on trade skills/associate degree level courses that individuals are required to take and which are paid in full or at least in part by the government. This would help many problems in todays world in my humble opinion. |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
8>8 Personal answerNo, local police should increase surveillance and patrol of cities and towns whose crime rates exceed national averages, regardless of religious demography |
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 |
Elections › Foreign Lobbying
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Education › Free College for All
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Social › Death Penalty
8>8 Personal answerFor certain cases the death penalty can be used, it all depends on the circumstance |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
8>8 Personal answerDepends on the seriousness of the crime. Murder and rape automatically deported after serving sentence. |
Social › Hate Speech
8>8 Personal answerYes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech |
Social › Government Mandates
8>8 Personal answerNo, it should be covered like any other prescription |
Social › Confederate Flag
8>8 Personal answerNo, but it should be allowed to be flown on private property |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
8>8 Personal answerIt depends on the situation and should be determinded by a court if they should be on the no fly list and rights taken away because of it. |
Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Reform
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › NSA Domestic Surveillance
8>8 Personal answerdepends if the person is suspect or criminal |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
8>8 Personal answerI don't think a totally non biased commission is possible |
Social › Women in Combat
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Medicaid
8>8 Personal answerI don't know enough about this to say with certainty. I would lean more towards yes, but only if the funding was structured to not be easily abused. |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
8>8 Personal answerNo, users of social media are free to share what they please, but anyone who is, advertises themselves as, or comes across to a reasonable person as a news organization should have a legal obligation to tell the truth. Additionally, where the truth is not known, it should be illegal for such organizations to make things up, but rather these organizations should have to wait before making more informed judgements. This would diminish the capability of users to share fake news as the fake news would not exist, as opposed to simply not be shared. |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
8>8 Personal answerNo, but require vaccination in order to attend public school |
Immigration › Border Security
8>8 Personal answerYes, but improve the legal process of legal immigration |
Crime › Private Prisons
8>8 Personal answerIf they will help deter crime then yes. |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
8>8 Personal answerThis should solely depend on the woman's, and men's, ability to serve on the board of directors. All genders, ethnicities, etc., should have an equal chance to get onto a board of directors. |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only for a transitional period of time to make them competitive and attractive to investors. |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
8>8 Personal answerYes, if they pay taxes |
Elections › Campaign Finance
8>8 Personal answerNo, as long as all donations are public knowledge |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only if they are actively pursuing citizenship through the established procedures |
Elections › Voter Fraud
8>8 Personal answerA photo ID should be either a drivers license or some sort of citizenship card that can be obtained in the same manner as a license but for those without a car. |
the Environment › Alaska Wildlife Refuge
8>8 Personal answerDepends on the impact it would have on the wildlife. If it takes up 1% of the refuge land space but can provide $100MM's to the economy than yes, if it will turn the wildlife regure into a roughneck man-camp then no. |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
8>8 Personal answerKeep current rates but eliminate deductions and loop holes |
Social › Safe Spaces
8>8 Personal answerOnly for the mentally or physically challenged |
Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
8>8 Personal answerI support the idea that the government collects knowledge for security, but only with legal and necessary reasons |
the Economy › Government Spending
8>8 Personal answerIt depends. Most of the public spending should go towards what is most needed by the economy. |
Foreign Policy › Israel
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › NATO
8>8 Personal answerYes, but NATO should focus more on counter-terrorism strategies |
Immigration › Border Wall
8>8 Personal answerThe wall is less of a solution than expanding citizen admissions. if we expand this department to be able to handle a large number of applications in a quick (1-2yr) process and if illegal immigration is still a concern then we can talk about doing more physical solutions (i.e. wall, increase border security, deportation, etc.) |
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 answerYes, but the monopoly power of ISP's should be addressed at their roots. Monopolies are handed out to ISP's by law and this is hurting everyone. |
Social › First Amendment
8>8 Personal answerNo, the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the free exercise of religion, but only prohibits laws establishing a religion. However, reference to any religion on currency, buildings, monuments, etc. should not be prohibited either if there is popular support for it. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
8>8 Personal answerNo, manufacturers and dealers should only be held liable for negligence |
Crime › Defunding the Police
8>8 Personal answerPossibly. Police should be funded, to what extent can be up to the state/local authorities. these are not federal issues and it is funny how we as voters see that the federal government's intervention is the only solution |
Social › Niqāb
8>8 Personal answerYes, but their identity must be clearly visible in some fashion along with their person being checked as much as a non-Muslim would be for weapons and such. |
Social › Euthanasia
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only 1) if there is no chance they will survive their illness & 2) after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice. |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
8>8 Personal answerYes, but do not deport them if they fail, they can still remain Legal Residents until they pass the Civics test. And we should have mandatory Civic classrooms in all public schools. |
Crime › Mandatory minimum prison sentences
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only for drug dealers, not users |
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. |
Domestic Policy › Flag Burning
8>8 Personal answerI don't like it when Americans burn the American Flag. But they have their 1st Amendment Rights to do so. |
Foreign Policy › Soleimani
8>8 Personal answerYes, If they are harboring terrorist or supporting their actions then sometimes a decisive action lets other countries know that we will not tolerate limited cooperation. If we are going to work with you and give you the nuclear deal then you are not going to harbor those kind of people. Period. |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
8>8 Personal answerYes. I do believe all the recipients should be tested for drugs. However, I do not believe people should be tested for marijuana. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
8>8 Personal answerBy and large, the time has passed when unions were critical, but they should not be banned. They should also not be able to force employees to join. |
Elections › Campaign Finance
8>8 Personal answerYes but they need to be made public |
the Environment › Dakota Access Pipeline
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Economic Stimulus
8>8 Personal answerOnly in the event of a crisis such as the pandemic, massive natural disasters, and to other non-market related events. if we start giving stimulus to people and to companies during a down market then all we are doing is propping up failed businesses/lifestyles |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as they pay taxes |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
8>8 Personal answerYes, but provide more incentives for alternate energy production. |
Domestic Policy › Whistleblower Protection
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as the act itself was done responsibly. |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Afghanistan
8>8 Personal answerWe should reduce the number of troops slowly and aid the country in establishing/maintaining a stable and fair government. |
Healthcare › Obamacare
8>8 Personal answerI honestly don't know where i stand on health care. Health care industry is absurdly expensive because every single individual is a potential customer and they want to wring you every dime because they know they will so allowing healthcare to operate as a true capitalist industry is counterproductive to the consumer in the long run. On the other hand capitalism ensures that their is an incentive for healthcare providers to produce the best medicinal practices because they will become rich. its a catch 22. Ultimately I believe the healthcare indsutry as a whole will need to be heavily regulated, arguably the most regulated industry. |
Elections › Candidate Transparency
8>8 Personal answerNo, tax returns shouldn't be part of the political process - because the other party(s) always exploit them. Tax returns really don't reveal anyone's ability to be President. |
Elections › Lobbyists
8>8 Personal answerYes, and ban all forms of lobbying |
the Environment › Fracking
8>8 Personal answerNot sure on this imparticular example but I am in favor of the use of oil and natural gas. I am also in favor of all other forms of energy as long as they are beneficial for the consumer. I believe increased incentives to industries to encourage more growth and innovation in renewable energy is also important. |
the Economy › Overtime Pay
8>8 Personal answerNo, this will hurt small businesses and incentivize large corporations to cut full time positions and hire more part time staff |
Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
8>8 Personal answerNo, only with the owner's consent. |
Elections › Electoral College
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
8>8 Personal answerIncrease |
Science › Nuclear Energy
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties
8>8 Personal answerYes, but ONLY if they're repeated offenders of trafficking or if there's proof that someone died from the drugs they trafficked. Human traffickers SHOULD get the Death Penalty too because human trafficking is WORSE than drug trafficking. |
Foreign Policy › Torture
8>8 Personal answerI am not expert in torture but many people don't talk in torture because they know once they do they die. I would be in support of certain techniques being used if, the individuals were 100% confirmed to be terrorists or plotting to be terrorists, and even then the methods should only be used if it is deemed that the information they posses could save American lives. |
Elections › Criminal Politicians
8>8 Personal answerYes as long as 1) they have finished serving their sentence, 2) the crime was not committed while in office, & 3) it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
8>8 Personal answerWe should focus on investing in their economies. Encouraging their own economic growth would be better both for us and for them (rather than money ending up in the hands of leaders and not being put into the economy). |
Foreign Policy › Drones
8>8 Personal answerOnly to gather intelligence on individuals that are suspected to be terrorists on solid evidence with the the foreign country's express permission, except if that country's government supports/is affiliated with a suspected terrorist or terrorist group. |
Science › GMO Labels
8>8 Personal answerNo, we have selectively bred crops for thousands of years and labeling just adds an unfounded stigma to the science |
Crime › Prison Overcrowding
8>8 Personal answerYes, but place them under house arrest and/or have them complete community service hours helping build new prisons |
Education › Universal Pre-K
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Transportation › Public Transportation
8>8 Personal answerNo, we have more important issues that need funding |
the Economy › Estate Tax
8>8 Personal answerIt should be eliminated. These things were already taxed at one time. Giving them to your family shouldn't be an issue. Should your kids be taxed every time they want to borrow your lawnmower? |
Immigration › Dual Citizenship
8>8 Personal answerYes, unless they have committed a crime Yes, unless they have committed an act of terrorism |
Domestic Policy › Social Security
8>8 Personal answerYes, but increase it slowly and slightly. People are living longer now, and professional economists are recommending workers to retire later. |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
8>8 Personal answerGradually phase them out. |
National Security › Military Congressional Approval
8>8 Personal answerIt depends on the situation. If it is an emergency situation, then yes the president should not have to authorize with congress but if there is enough time, then congress should authorize. It all depends on the circumstances at the moment in time. |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
8>8 Personal answerNo, they should be tried in military tribunals but not subject to torture |
the Environment › Paris Climate Agreement
8>8 Personal answerI almost agree with the "yes, until other countries are held to the same standards" selection (i.e. china and india) but i am not so obtuse as to say that we should all withdrawl from any effort to reduce pollution. The bottom line is that we should not do anything to hurt the american people/american economy and right now we are not in a place to be as "green" as europe. I have spent time in Belgium/Holland and they worship "going green" like Europeans used to worship the catholic church in the 11th century. They are motivated from a place of restricted natural resources as well as a lack of strong central government/cooperation between all the european countries. We are not burdened with that. while some states are more active with environmental regulations than other the EPA ensures at least a measure of consistency. We should meet whatever standards we need to meet but we should do it on our pace and our own schedule. I do think it is important to get that going fast though while the iron is still hot on environmental issues. |
the Economy › Tech Monopolies
8>8 Personal answerGreater regulations and limitations on the sharing/sale/collection of personal information are needed. In addition, the distribution monopolies of products controlled by these companies need to be altered to ensure the growth and survival of smaller producers. |
National Security › Foreign Assassination
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only if there is undeniable evidence they are planning to attack our country |
Science › Space Exploration
8>8 Personal answerYes, but let private companies be free to pursue space travel |
the Economy › China Tariffs
8>8 Personal answerI support duties that would equalize companies' abilities to externalize costs in foreign countries that companies operating here cannot (e.g., producing goods more cheaply because workplace safety is not maintained, workers are not treated fairly, operations are allowed to pollute in other countries at no cost in ways they cannot do here, etc.) |
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 answerNo, but there should be regulations and there should be a ban on accounts/posts not explicitly tagged as Political, Bias, or Advertising. It should be clear to every user that it is an opinion/advertisement. |
Domestic Policy › Edward Snowden
8>8 Personal answerMr. Snowden should face some consequences for violating the conditions of his security clearance but the merits of his claims should be investigated fully to ensure that there is no wrong doing by the NSA. If the NSA is found to have been performing illegal surveillances then Mr. Snowden should be exonerated. |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
8>8 Personal answerNo, disrespectful to the Cuban dead killed by the current regime and all those who had to flee their country to come to America |
Foreign Policy › Jerusalem
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Corporate Subsidies
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Air Force One
8>8 Personal answerIf necessary, yes. |
