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 answerPeople should be able to marry whomever they want to marry. You _cannot_ have different laws for different groups of people - not if you want to call this a free society. |
the Economy › Equal Pay
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
9>9 Personal answerYes, require strict background checks, psychological testing, and training |
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 answerYes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments |
Social › Gender Identity
9>9 Personal answerYes, and the government should do more to protect minorities from discrimination |
Healthcare › Mental Health
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Social › Transgender Athletes
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only if their hormone levels are equivalent to those in the gender category in which they compete |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
9>9 Personal answerYes. The government should be spending more on health care overall, and women's health is especially underfunded and / or marginalized. Just compare outcomes between Catholic hospitals and other non-misogynistic providers - a woman in a Catholic hospital has a much higher rate of complications and negative outcomes because they are using ancient ideas to practice medicine. It's a contradiction. |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
9>9 Personal answerNo |
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, they should all be legal and regulated for safety purposes. And _real_ drug education must take place in the youngest grades. If you want to reduce harm from drug use, then don't let addicts get sucked into the judicial system. |
the Economy › Taxes
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
9>9 Personal answerYes, but it would be more like the Peace Corps than the military and you have to serve one year at least fifteen hundred miles from where you lived for the majority of your life or three years if it's less than that. Make it the return of the Civilian Conservation Corps. And make it so that you can't talk to others about politics, religion, or money. Offer a tax incentive to return to the area in which you served one weekend every six months. |
Social › Racial Sensitivity Training
9>9 Personal answerYes - and private companies as well. Everyone needs to understand the legacy of racism and discrimination against any group. Everyone needs to learn how not to discriminate and they need to know just how rampant and baked into the institutions. |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
9>9 Personal answerNO. White, straight, "Christian" cisgender men are a much bigger threat to the nation. How many hate crimes are there involving white victims and non-white perpetrators? One? Two? Police should increase surveillance and patrol of groups that pose a threat - right now, that's coming from white terrorists. |
Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
9>9 Personal answerCritical Race Theory is not something to teach. It's not any one thing at all. It's a way of looking at the evidence that includes the long and deeply rooted American racist tradition. |
Immigration › Immigration
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Education › Student Loans
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Education › Free College for All
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Death Penalty
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
9>9 Personal answerNo |

9>9 Personal answerYes, and everything else so that it can be regulated and safe and _actually_ reduce OD's and other harms of addiction. |

9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as it does not threaten violence |
Social › Confederate Flag
9>9 Personal answerNo |

9>9 Personal answerNo |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Medicaid
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Border Security
9>9 Personal answerNo, make it easier for immigrants to access temporary work visas |
Crime › Private Prisons
9>9 Personal answerAbsolutely NOT. There should be no way to profit off of misfortune whether that misfortune is legal or medical. |
Crime › Qualified Immunity for Police
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
9>9 Personal answerYes, because discrimination and prejudice against various groups is still so widespread and common. We should not _need_ legislation to prevent this kind of behavior. But because people are who they are, the playing field must be leveled. |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Sanctuary Cities
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Elections › Campaign Finance
9>9 Personal answerYes, and ban all political donations and publicly fund elections |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
9>9 Personal answerNo, they should be granted permanent amnesty and citizenship if they want it. |
the Environment › Alaska Wildlife Refuge
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Voter Fraud
9>9 Personal answerNo, and automatically register every citizen to vote when they turn 18 |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
9>9 Personal answerRaise |
Social › Safe Spaces
9>9 Personal answerYes, but just because some information can trigger unwanted emotion does not mean that information can be ignored. We DON'T need any more reasons to discourage critical thinking in this country. Expand counseling services so that if something is a trigger, that student can then be sent to a counselor to understand _why_ they were triggered and to begin working on preventing that from happening again. In fact, make the counseling mandatory for anyone who says they're triggered by exposure to ideas. And the counseling has to happen during the students' own time, not class time. |
Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Government Spending
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
9>9 Personal answerYes, a sixteen year old is as capable of making an informed decision as anyone else. And they arguably have the most at stake since the odds are they'll live much longer than older voters. |
Foreign Policy › Israel
9>9 Personal answerWe should give equal support to Israel and Palestine. |
Foreign Policy › NATO
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
9>9 Personal answerNo, we should embrace the diversity that immigrants add to our country |
Immigration › Border Wall
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
9>9 Personal answerNo, this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices |
Social › First Amendment
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Medicaid Work Requirement
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Congressional ban on stock trading
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
9>9 Personal answerYes, any business should be held liable if the primary use of its product is for illegal activity |
Crime › Defunding the Police
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
9>9 Personal answerNo one under 18 should be in prison at all. |
Social › Niqāb
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Mandatory minimum prison sentences
9>9 Personal answerThere should be no mandatory minimum sentences for anything, and there should be no incarceration for drug offenses. |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
9>9 Personal answerOnly if everyone has to. A better option would be to create a system where you have to pass the citizenship test every few years, like getting a driver's license, before they can access any services or features of the gov't. And let me and other Civics teachers write the test. |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
9>9 Personal answerIncrease |

9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Labor Unions

9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
9>9 Personal answerYes |

9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
9>9 Personal answerYes |

Elections › Candidate Transparency
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Fracking
9>9 Personal answerNo, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead |
Elections › Lobbyists
9>9 Personal answerYes, but it should be a permanent ban. No mixing of lobbying and legislating at any point. You can convince elected officials or you can write legislation. You can't do both. |
the Economy › Overtime Pay
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Electoral College
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
9>9 Personal answerDRASTICALLY decrease |
Crime › Collective Bargaining
9>9 Personal answerThis question does not make sense. Collective bargaining is to negotiate contracts. An officer accused of misconduct is certainly entitled to union and legal representation. |
the Environment › Animal Testing
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Science › Nuclear Energy
9>9 Personal answerNo, we should invest in cleaner alternatives such as wind, hydroelectric, thorium, and geothermal |
Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties
9>9 Personal answerNo, I do not believe in the death penalty |
Foreign Policy › Torture
9>9 Personal answerNo. Torture - as cruel as it is and unconstitutional in that regard - also sucks as a fact-finding technique. Everyone has a break point and everyone will say anything they think will end the torture. There's significant evidence that torture in Afghanistan and Iraq actually made it _harder_ to stop plots / attacks / nefarious intentions of sad and angry men. |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
9>9 Personal answerIncrease |
Elections › Criminal Politicians
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as the crime was not committed while in office |

9>9 Personal answerNo, only to gather intelligence, not to kill suspected terrorists |
Science › GMO Labels
9>9 Personal answerYes, consumers have a right to know what is in their food |

Crime › Prison Overcrowding
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Education › Universal Pre-K
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Housing › Homeless Encampments
9>9 Personal answerYes, and create more social programs to provide free food, clothing, and medicine |

9>9 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
9>9 Personal answerYes |
National Security › Military Congressional Approval
9>9 Personal answerModern military scenarios need quick decisions and Congress is not quick. However, the Executive cannot have unlimited control over the American military. All decisions should be well-reviewed by military AND civilian officials (not the Defense Department). |
the Environment › Paris Climate Agreement
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Tech Monopolies
9>9 Personal answerYes |
National Security › Foreign Assassination

9>9 Personal answerNo |
Education › School Truancy
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Pension Reform
9>9 Personal answerNO!!! Private management only serves the private manager / company that collects the fees. even if they had a fiduciary interest I still wouldn't want anyone motivated by profit to manage pensions. |
the Environment › Corporate Subsidies
9>9 Personal answerYes, a municipality can offer incentives to attract investment - but NOT at the expense of revenue for said municipality. No tax breaks to move, just like no tax breaks should be given to individuals (for example, NYC's willingness to give the obscenely wealthy tax breaks for buying property. If you want to own property somewhere, you ought to be invested enough in that somewhere's success. Starving the coffers of tax revenue is never going to do that. Taxes are the fee we pay to live in a functioning free society. It's our patriotic duty to pay taxes - but it's also our patriotic duty to vote out anyone who misspends that money. |
Foreign Policy › F-35
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Air Force One
9>9 Personal answerYes |
