Social › Gay Marriage
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
9>9 Personal answerNo, only for criminals and the mentally ill |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Gun Buyback
9>9 Personal answerNo, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead |
Social › Gender Identity
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
9>9 Personal answerYes, but the owner must post a sign stating their beliefs and what they refuse |
Social › Transgender Athletes
9>9 Personal answerNo, athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
9>9 Personal answerYes, their services reach far beyond abortions and can save many lives through cancer screening, prenatal services, and adoption referrals |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
9>9 Personal answerYes, and make it a living wage |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
9>9 Personal answerYes, schools should have a system whereby teachers are either trained or can verify that they have been trained in proper gun safety and gun laws in order to carry a gun at school. After verifying that they have a good grasp on gun safety and the laws regarding guns, they should be allowed to carry a gun on school grounds, but they will still by accountable to all the same gun laws that other citizens are liable for. |
the Environment › Climate Change
9>9 Personal answerNo, provide more incentives for alternative energy production instead |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
9>9 Personal answerYes, I believe that the government should focus more on the mental side of drug use and approach the problems of drug use from a health issue perspective rather than a legal one. Rather than punishing individuals for drug use, local governments should focus on helping them with rehabilitation institutions and making more resources for information and help available. |
Foreign Policy › Iran
9>9 Personal answerNo, the U.S. should encourage Iran to disarm through diplomatic channels |
the Economy › Taxes
9>9 Personal answerI believe that the U.S. conduct a survey via the IRS to figure out how much each citizen has, how much they make, and how much they can afford to pay before taxing them. This would lead to taxes that are more fair to every person based on their income than the current system, where the taxes for individuals is consistent and actually appropriately based on their income as opposed to the current system that seems to favour larger businesses and richer individuals, and make the laws about taxes more clear to remove the tax loopholes that allow current large corporations to not pay as much as they should. |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
9>9 Personal answerNo, service should be a choice instead of an obligation |
Social › Racial Sensitivity Training
9>9 Personal answerNo, just ensure there are clear guidelines, action, and accountability for acts of discrimination |
Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
9>9 Personal answerNo, kids should be raised to be racially color blind instead of being taught they are inherently racist or disadvantaged based on the color of their skin |
Immigration › Immigration
9>9 Personal answerYes, if they were born here |
Education › Free College for All
9>9 Personal answerNo, but provide more scholarship opportunities for low-income students |
Education › Student Loans
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Confederate Flag
9>9 Personal answerNo, it should be put in a museum where it was originally flown |
Social › Government Mandates
9>9 Personal answerNo, the government should not decide what services a private business can provide |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
9>9 Personal answerYes, I believe that suspected terrorists on the federal terrorism watch list should be banned from purchasing guns and ammunition but only after investigation(s) and judicial review of the suspected terrorist have substantial enough evidence to imply the individual may engage in terrorist activities, because at that point the individual has essentially surrendered their right to bear arms by interfering with the rights of others. |
Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Reform
9>9 Personal answerNo, and the Supreme Court should not be politicized |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
9>9 Personal answerYes, gerrymandering gives an unfair advantage to the party in power during redistricting |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
9>9 Personal answerYes, local law enforcement should be allowed to transfer immigrants to federal immigration authorities no matter what crime if they were found to be illegal |
Healthcare › Medicaid
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only increase for the elderly and disabled |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
9>9 Personal answerSocial media sites are managed by private companies and as a result should be held to the same laws as other companies. The prevention of fake news and misinformation is the responsibility of the company that runs the social media site, and what the government should do is introduce lessons into the national education system that inform students of fake news and misinformation and tell them how to identify and avoid it. |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
9>9 Personal answerNo, but hold parents criminally liable for transferring deadly diseases to other children |
Crime › Qualified Immunity for Police
9>9 Personal answerNo, police officers should be trained in the laws that they are responsible for upholding and as a result should know a vast majority of the laws that apply to the area. Certain laws can be waived for officers if their duty demands that it be violated, but officers should still be held to the same laws that everyone else is, especially since they are trained to know it in order to act on it. |
Immigration › Sanctuary Cities
9>9 Personal answerSanctuary cities should be subject to the same conditions on federal funding as all other cities, so that the federal government can deny funding to a sanctuary city but not because of the policies designed to not prosecute people solely for being undocumented. |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
9>9 Personal answerYes, if they pay taxes |
Elections › Campaign Finance
9>9 Personal answerNo, as long as all donations are public knowledge |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
9>9 Personal answerYes, I support a single-payer healthcare system, however I understand from people involved in the medical field that I've heard talk about healthcare reform that healthcare has become so convoluted for so many reasons that such a reformation is practically impossible. Because of that, I think it would be better to use what powers to government does have, such as stuff that could be defended under the Commerce Clause, in order to reduce insurance rates so that healthcare insurance is more widely available. |
Elections › Voter Fraud
9>9 Personal answerNo, this will disadvantage those who do not have the resources to obtain one |
Social › Safe Spaces
9>9 Personal answerNo, college is meant to challenge students thoughts and opinions so they are prepared for real life |
Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
9>9 Personal answerNo, the government should not have free reign to conduct searches of these sorts of things without probably cause or a warrant for the activity. |
Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass
9>9 Personal answerNo, I think businesses should require vaccination but not by government mandate |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Israel
9>9 Personal answerYes, but respect Israel’s sovereignty and do not dictate how it should interact with its neighbors |
Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Financial Transactions
9>9 Personal answerNo, it is the duty of the justices of the Supreme Court to be completely unbiased and fair in their decisions, which is encouraged by the fact that getting onto the Supreme Court is the last career move for a justice. The justices should not be prohibited from making transactions with people who have a vested interest in court outcomes because the justice shouldn't be influenced by such things anyway, and if they are then that means that Congress failed in their interview and the FBI failed in their investigation to prove the nature of the justice, or that the president made a politically motivated decision in their recess appointment of a justice. And of course, if a justice is truly not being unbiased and is accepting bribes from parties with vested interest(s) in the court ruling(s), judicial impeachment exists for that reason. |
Foreign Policy › NATO
9>9 Personal answerYes, but NATO should focus more on counter-terrorism strategies |
Foreign Policy › Ukrainian Defense Funding
9>9 Personal answerYes, but the supplies and funding should be overseen by responsible military officials to make sure they get to their final destinations and are used appropriately instead of being used for personal gains as I have been lead to believe they currently are. |
Immigration › Border Wall
9>9 Personal answerNo, this would be too costly and ineffective |
Healthcare › Medicaid Work Requirement
9>9 Personal answerYes, a condition to receiving Medicaid benefits should be that the individual has at least spent a few years working and paying taxes, and local programs should instead be the vehicle for benefits to be provided to individuals who have disabilities or illnesses that prevent them from working. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
9>9 Personal answerVictims of gun violence should only be allowed to use firearms dealers and manufacturers if the cause of the violence was a direct result of the dealer/manufacturer (such as a malfunction leading to an discharge that hurts a person or a dealer not running appropriate background and mental illness checks. |
Crime › Defunding the Police
9>9 Personal answerNo, funding for local police departments should be adjusted as necessary for that community, and that goes for other departments too, and the combined funding that is saved can then be redirected to social and community based programs. |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
9>9 Personal answerPrisons should use more social programs to help prevent and rehabilitate criminals instead of using solitary confinement because solitary confinement is severely psychologically damaging to everyone due to the nature of humans as social creatures, which only serves to make it harder for those put in solitary confinement to return or start a normal life. |
Crime › Mandatory minimum prison sentences
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
9>9 Personal answerYes, anyone who pays taxes should have the right to vote |
Healthcare › Safe Haven
9>9 Personal answerYes, drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue |
Domestic Policy › Affirmative Action
9>9 Personal answerAs long as affirmative action programs remain the responsibility of the state and local governments, I support them. |
Domestic Policy › Flag Burning
9>9 Personal answerNo, I don’t respect anyone who does but they should have the right to do so |
Crime › Demilitarize the Police
9>9 Personal answerYes, but with strict training on how and when to use the equipment |
the Environment › Dakota Access Pipeline
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as the decision is left up to the states and the qualifications are consistent with the ones described above. |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
9>9 Personal answerNo, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
9>9 Personal answerYes, and provide more military support for U.N. forces in addition to maintaining the current financial contributions. |
Healthcare › Obamacare
9>9 Personal answerNo, open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines and reduce costs |
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 answerYes, but increase oversight |
Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
9>9 Personal answerGenerally, the government should not seize private property, instead it should be purchased at an agreed price with the individual(s) that own it. The exception would be in extreme situations, such as the owner(s) of the property not paying the relevant taxes, if the land was provided in an agreement with the government in a contract that said that the government could seize it with reasonable compensation when necessary, or if the land was being used by the owner(s) for illegal activities. |
Elections › Electoral College
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Collective Bargaining
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
9>9 Personal answerNeither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending |
Science › Nuclear Energy
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as the nuclear energy is produced cleanly, such as with thorium. |
Foreign Policy › Torture
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only if they are convicted terrorists |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
9>9 Personal answerIncrease, but only for countries that have no human rights violations |
Science › GMO Labels
9>9 Personal answerYes, I trust the science of responsible food engineering but I don’t trust the motives of the food companies selling them |
Crime › Prison Overcrowding
9>9 Personal answerNo, we should instead reform our justice system to remove prejudice and injustice for individuals on such a large scale. The U.S. has 10.4% of the world's prison population despite only making up 4.2% of the world's population, which means that our legal system is placing too many people in prison and our legal system needs to undergo some major reform, which can start with a reformation of the government to approach drug issues from a medical perspective rather than a legal one. |
Education › Universal Pre-K
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Housing › Homeless Encampments
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Transportation › Public Transportation
9>9 Personal answerYes, and provide more free public transportation |
Education › Charter Schools
9>9 Personal answerGovernment funding should be focused on public schools and increasing teacher wages, but private institutions should still be able to run private schools for families that want private education for their child. |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
9>9 Personal answerNo, but the government could place extra taxes on non-biodegradable products to motivate companies to switch to more biodegradable ones. |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
9>9 Personal answerforeign terrorism suspects should only be given constitutional rights if they are only being suspected because of race or what they believe. |
National Security › Military Congressional Approval
9>9 Personal answerNo, Congress should approve all military conflicts |
the Environment › Paris Climate Agreement
9>9 Personal answerThe U.S. can withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement until other countries are held to the same standard, but not in such a way that damages actively harms the environment severely. |
National Security › Foreign Assassination
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only if there is undeniable evidence that has already been put before a fair judge and jury that ruled a death penalty. |
Foreign Policy › NATO
9>9 Personal answerYes, the U.S. should defend other NATO countries that maintain low military defense budgets relative to their GDP, but we should encourage them to increase their military defense budgets so that they can defend themselves more effectively as well. |
Domestic Policy › TikTok Ban
9>9 Personal answerNo, there is nothing that TikTok does that other social media apps don't do as far as I am aware, so while TikTok has been the vehicle for the spread of a lot of misinformation and dangerous trends, and while I do despise the platform seeming to encourage that behavior of its users, it is not the government's place to ban the app. |
National Security › Mexican Drug Cartels
9>9 Personal answerNo, we already have agencies that address these issues |
Domestic Policy › Edward Snowden
9>9 Personal answerNo, he should be returned to the U.S. to stand trial and face the consequences of his actions |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
9>9 Personal answerNo, lift the travel embargo but do not allow trade until Cuba becomes a democratic republic |
Education › School Truancy
9>9 Personal answerSchool truancy laws should be left to the most local level of government that primarily controls education. That being said, I believe that deliberate absence from school without a reasonable excuse should not be a crime since for young individuals, school is essentially their job, which would make criminalizing school truancy akin to declaring skipping a work shift illegal, which is unreasonable since the consequences for skipping work should be determined by the employer and not the government, the exception of course being government institutions. |
the Economy › Surcharge Ban
9>9 Personal answerNo, the government should not regulate what private business charge their consumers and should focus more on preventing monopolies and cartels, but the government should place higher taxes on surcharges tacked onto purchases than regular sales to discourage them. |
