Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Abortion
9>9 Personal answerPro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions |
Social › Gay Marriage
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Equal Pay
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Drug Price Regulation
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Pre-Existing Conditions
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Social › Gun Buyback
9>9 Personal answerNo. Buybacks should be voluntary, anonymous, no questions asked. I can imagine any federally-mandated buyback is going to be none of these things. And the focus of the gun violence epidemic shouldn't be on limiting the scope of what kinds of guns can be accessed, but who's buying them. As the saying goes, "guns don't shoot people, people shoot people", and the focus of tackling gun violence should be more holistic than banning assault weapons and calling it a day. It should be about closing existing loopholes, mandating background checks, psychological evaluations, gun licenses and training, keeping guns away from dangerous people and the mentally ill, intercepting illegal arms sales, holding sellers accountable, and getting on top of the evolution of the arms industry (i.e. 3D-printed guns). TL;DR, limiting or banning assault weapons isn't going to fix the problem in the slightest, it just serves as a placebo so politicians can pat themselves on the back and act as if they actually did something useful |
Social › Gender Identity
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Mental Health
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as the reason for their refusal does not discriminate against a protected class (i.e. sex, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, etc.). For example, a Muslim baker should be allowed to refuse to make a cake depicting graphic sexual scenery on the basis of their beliefs. A Hindu caterer should be allowed to refuse service for a customer that is insistent on having beef at their event. But something such as a same-sex wedding cake topper, a business should not be allowed to deny them service on that basis. The problem begins when the reason for refusing service to someone is based on something that customer cannot control or change. |
Social › Transgender Athletes
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
9>9 Personal answerNo. Not only does such a measure heighten the risk of accidental shootings and student-led shootings (if the teacher is not careful about secure storage), but it also creates an environment of fear in schools, which is counterintuitive to what the movement is trying to achieve. Instead of fearing being shot by strangers, they will now fear being shot by their teachers, a fear which is only multiplied when you take into consideration the impact this would have on Black, Latin, and Native American students. The "it'll teach kids not to disobey their teachers" argument (that I have heard be made) is a ridiculous one that I will not even get into. Children should learn to respect people, not fear them. TL;DR whoever thought this was a good solution in the slightest obviously hasn't been in a school in at least 30 years |
the Environment › Climate Change
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Taxes
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Iran
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Social › Racial Sensitivity Training
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
9>9 Personal answerYes. Nobody seems to understand just what the fuck critical race theory even is. Critical race theory is not "white people bad" or the simple act of teaching American history. Critical race theory is the analysis of American society and law and how it's affected by race. It's about examining how society today is affected by the past. It's literally one form of cause and fucking effect. American history, in its entirety, should be taught in public schools, even if it makes America look bad or amoral. Students should know about the things that have happened to create the environment around them today, and how those things affected it. Students shouldn't be inundated with the myths of American exceptionalism, American irredentism, rags-to-riches, colorblindness, and they should be encouraged to criticize these concepts. Doing that isn't anti-American, it's being realistic. That being said, a topic as delicate as critical race theory needs to be tailored to each age group. For example, talking about how the Indian termination policies led to alcoholism and suicide in Native American communities to a group of six year-olds is as redundant as it is inappropriate. No sane person would suggest going balls-to-the-wall into critical race theory on a young child that can barely spell their own name. TL;DR, |
Elections › Foreign Lobbying
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Education › Free College for All
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Immigration
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Education › Student Loans
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
9>9 Personal answerYes, if they've committed a grievous offence and it's safe to send them back to their home country |
Social › Death Penalty
9>9 Personal answerNo. The death penalty is such a high-stakes punishment given that they're running the risk of executing innocent people that it's just not worth it. |
Healthcare › Marijuana
9>9 Personal answerYes, and I support the legalization of all drugs |
Social › Hate Speech
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Social › Government Mandates
9>9 Personal answerYes |

9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Women in Combat
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Medicaid
9>9 Personal answerYes, but I prefer switching to a single payer healthcare system |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Qualified Immunity for Police
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
9>9 Personal answerNo. Government regulation of social media websites opens up the opportunity for censorship if such authority over these sites is placed into the wrong hands. Of course fake news and misinformation campaigns is an issue to be tackled, but allowing the government to regulate social media sites could have the unintended consequence of opening up censorship of information from the American populace. |
Crime › Private Prisons
9>9 Personal answerNo. Private prisons have allowed for slavery to continue via that little teeny tiny loophole in the 13th Amendment that says "oh slavery's ok if they're being punished". Private prisons most definitely have taken advantage of that, and who's most affected by that? Black, Latin, and Native American people. |
Immigration › Border Security
9>9 Personal answerNo, and we should implement an open border policy |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
9>9 Personal answerYes |

Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
9>9 Personal answerYes |

9>9 Personal answerYes, create a simple path to citizenship for immigrants with no criminal record |
the Environment › Alaska Wildlife Refuge
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Voter Fraud
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
9>9 Personal answerRaise |
Social › Safe Spaces
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass
9>9 Personal answerNo, I think businesses should require vaccination but not by government mandate |
the Economy › Government Spending
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › NATO
9>9 Personal answerNo, it is obsolete and should be abolished |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Israel
9>9 Personal answerThe United States should not favor the Israelis or the Palestinians, and the focus should be on negotiating a solution to the decades-long conflict between Israel and the Palestinians rather than picking a side. |
Immigration › Border Wall
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
9>9 Personal answerNo, but it would certainly help them function in American society if they did. Especially if they're working-age. |
Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Defunding the Police
9>9 Personal answerYes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls |
Healthcare › Medicaid Work Requirement
9>9 Personal answerNo, the vast majority of people who receive Medicaid are disabled |
Social › First Amendment
9>9 Personal answerYes, but do not waste money removing existing references |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
9>9 Personal answerYes, they should be allowed to sue the dealers (if they're negligent). No, they shouldn't be allowed to sue the manufacturers, especially if the dealer doesn't get directly supplied by the manufacturer (i.e. pawn shops, second-hand stores, yard sales, etc.). The manufacturer's liability is waived when the weapon has passed through multiple sets of hands, they have no control over who acquires the weapon. The only exception to this is if the manufacturer directly supplies weapons to the dealer (who is negligent); it would show negligence on part of the manufacturer to sell their weapons to a dealer that's not going to follow proper procedures. It's like suing Kitchen Aid for making knives because one person stabbed someone else with a Kitchen Aid knife set they bought used off eBay. It's absurd. TL;DR, sure, sue the dealers, but the manufacturers are a different story |
Domestic Policy › Congressional ban on stock trading
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Social › Niqāb
9>9 Personal answerYes, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Mandatory minimum prison sentences
9>9 Personal answerNo. Drug possession of any kind should not be illegal. The simple act of possessing drugs hurts literally no one. |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
9>9 Personal answerIncrease |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
9>9 Personal answerYes, but it should only cover very basic and simple topics |
Domestic Policy › Affirmative Action
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Corporate Mega Mergers
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Medicare Drug Prices
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Safe Haven
9>9 Personal answerYes, drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue |

the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Economic Stimulus
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Labor Unions
9>9 Personal answerHelp |
the Environment › Dakota Access Pipeline
9>9 Personal answerYes. The government had no right to route the pipeline through the Standing Rock Reservation. They are a sovereign entity (and the U.S. government has already defiled every other treaty they've made with the Natives). |
Elections › Campaign Finance
9>9 Personal answerNo. Any person or organization is allowed to support whoever they choose, but donations are a different story. Money has the hidden side effect of opening the door for corruption. These donations can be used as bribes or threats against the politician in question, leading said politician to make decisions that either go against what they campaigned for or work to the disadvantage of their own constituents (or both). Campaigns are better off being publicly-funded for two reasons: 1. There is balance in the playing field. A candidate cannot simply bank on their campaign spending to be enough to win voters over. Name recognition becomes less relevant in primary and general elections. 2. It cuts out the middle men of corporate donations and dark money because the money is being supplied by the public. TL;DR, money = corruption = bad policymaking |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Education › Common Core
9>9 Personal answerNo. In theory, having everyone on the same page is great. But in practice, it simply doesn't work. Each person learns concepts differently, each person has strengths and weaknesses, and our education system should acknowledge that. Our education system should tailor itself to each pupil's needs for the post-high school world. Not every student will go to college, be it because of finances, military service, or free will. Schools should respect that student's choice and help prepare them for life. Also, can I just talk about how schools don't teach basic life skills anymore? TL;DR, the education system in this country is so broken my head hurts thinking about it |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Obamacare
9>9 Personal answerYes, but a mandatory single payer system would be even better |
Elections › Candidate Transparency
9>9 Personal answerNo, I would respect them more if they did but they shouldn’t be required to |
the Environment › Fracking
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Lobbyists
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Overtime Pay
9>9 Personal answerYes, and the government should do more to protect workers’ rights |

Education › School Vouchers
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Drones
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Science › GMO Labels
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Taliban Financial Aid
9>9 Personal answerThat is not the decision of any individual government. That is a decision to be made solely by the leadership at the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. It is up to them to decide the legitimacy of the Taliban government. |
Crime › Prison Overcrowding
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Housing › Homeless Encampments
9>9 Personal answerYes, it's public property. |
Education › Universal Pre-K
