Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
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 › LGBT Adoption Rights
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples |
Social › Gay Marriage
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Equal Pay
9>9 Personal answerYes, a job should have a pay range and the only factors that make the wage go up is experience, schooling, and work ethic (based off of performance reviews) and it should be posted how much the wage goes up for each |
Healthcare › Mental Health
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only increase funding for personalised care instead of subsidising pharmaceutical companies |
Healthcare › Drug Price Regulation
9>9 Personal answerYes, and we should socialise medicine and healthcare |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
9>9 Personal answerYes, vaccines should be required to be part of the public school system and other systems run on tax dollars. However vaccines should be covered at low to no cost if they are required. Otherwise, no requirement for home schooling |
Social › Gender Transition
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only for non-surgical treatments and with parental approval unless telling the parents would risk hurting the child mentally or physically. |
Social › Euthanasia
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only after vigorous interviewing of the patient and other family members to make sure that this is the right choice for them. |
Social › Death Penalty
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only for the most horrible crimes and if they're extremely dangerous. |
the Economy › Taxes
9>9 Personal answerTax as a percentage. Then the tax is proportional to one's income. |
Social › Hate Speech
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as it does not threaten violence |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
9>9 Personal answerThe minimum wage should be appropriate for a set standard of living and should be adjusted according to inflation. |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
9>9 Personal answerNo, I would see providing military service for those building a structured criminal record being required, but only in a time of dire need should this be broadened to every 18 year old citizen. |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
9>9 Personal answerNo, but there should be efforts to foster an equal-opportunity workplace so that women can rise to the board of directors fully qualified and destigmatized. |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
9>9 Personal answerYes, but not until making environmentally-friendly alternatives that exist at the same (or lower) price, and use government regulation or intervention to get companies to that right now. Until then, this just seems to discriminate against people like those with disabilities and working class people who can't afford to or don't have the time or energy to wash dishes every day, and disposable alternatives are currently helpful to those people even if they recognize the environmental impact. An outright ban on regular people without taking action against the companies responsible for the current options is just misguided and directs anger at the wrong targets. |
Social › Transgender Athletes
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only if they meet certain diagnostic criteria for fairness |
the Environment › Fracking
9>9 Personal answerNo, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead |
Crime › Private Prisons
9>9 Personal answerNo, we should end private prisons and instead provide a better funded and rehabilitation-based prison system. I think switching to privately-owned prisons would not come with a significant change because that is essentially the case today, but I think there should be a greater regulation with an eliminated quota system and the inclusion of more post-prison rehab sorts of programs. |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only to a reasonable extent similar to what the average citizen is capable of. |
Social › Niqāb
9>9 Personal answerYes, all cultural traditions should have respect, but if must, identity should be verified by a female staff member privately. |
Domestic Policy › Whistleblower Protection
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only if releasing the information does not threaten our national security |
the Economy › Economic Stimulus
9>9 Personal answerYes. Direct funding to helping poor people get back on their feet, and fund sectors that were hit very heavily |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
9>9 Personal answerlegal immigrants should be subject to the law within the U.S.. Illegal immigrants should be deported. |
the Economy › Four-day Workweek
9>9 Personal answerYes, and require overtime pay for work over four days per week |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Elections
9>9 Personal answerNo we should not try to influence other countries elections unless they are proven to be controlled by a malicious dictatorship or hurting the people in a severe manner. |
the Environment › Animal Testing
9>9 Personal answerNot for cosmetics or superficial discoveries. Animals must be humanely treated and not put in excessive pain or without anesthesia, medicine, and monitoring. |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
9>9 Personal answerYes, but allow people to use private insurance |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
9>9 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. |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
9>9 Personal answerYes, but make sure that other countries help fund it |
Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass
9>9 Personal answerYes, but with exceptions for those with legitimately adverse reactions to the vaccine |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
9>9 Personal answerNo, but there should be a more thorough and well -defined process to vet immigrants of all countries. |

9>9 Personal answerYes, but the test should be taken by all politicians regardless of age and it should have measures for preventing abuse and clearly defining "mental competency." |
Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only under specific circumstances such as with cartel leaders, Sr Officers, or if able to prove someone died from drugs they supplied. |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only marijuana. Unless someone committed a violent crime they should be sent to to a rehabilitation facility. |
Social › Women in Combat
9>9 Personal answerYes, but as long as they can pass a physical test that is not exactly the same as mens, but comparable according to body weight and muscle mass. |
the Economy › Universal Basic Income
9>9 Personal answerYes, for all minors, elders (65+), pregnant women, new mothers, people with physical or mental issues, and involuntary unemployed willing to train and accept job offers and as a replacement for the current welfare system. |
the Economy › Welfare
9>9 Personal answerWelfare should be reformed to be a temporary subsidy with a graduated level of benefit. Persons with disability, short term medical conditions (including pregnancy), loss of employment, or other extenuating circumstances should receive benefits and assistance with training, education or rehabilitation based on their need. The current system is too one-size fits all and encourages abuse because there is no exit strategy in place. You can provide more tailored benefits if you identify areas of need (housing/education/healthcare/long-term benefits/substance abuse) and save funding for most high-risk cases. |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
9>9 Personal answerYes, provide treatment for those who test positive and include governmental employees and politicians |

Healthcare › Safe Haven
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only if accompanied by treatment and rehabilitation |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
9>9 Personal answerNo, but it should be highly encouraged and the government should provide cheap language lessons |

9>9 Personal answerIncrease, but penalize companies taking advantage of this program to decrease wages |
Crime › Demilitarize the Police
9>9 Personal answerNo, extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment |
the Economy › Labor Unions
9>9 Personal answerHelp, but can become corrupt easily and should be regulated. |

the Economy › Offshore Banking
9>9 Personal answerYes, it should be allowed to continue as it benefits American companies and investments in a competitive and ever-changing international environment - as long as offshore income is reported along with income earned or held in the USA. There needs to be a mandatory increase in transparency and communication between US and foreign governments where offshore accounts are held. Loopholes in offshore banking laws being used to evade taxes should be closed. Individuals, corporations, businesses, banks, etc. with money in offshore accounts should be subject to additional auditing and potentially required to pay back-taxes on the income that was held in offshore accounts for the purpose of tax evasion. Additionally, accounts associated with tax fraud, laundering, terrorism, etc. should be subject to additional governmental oversight and required to undergo regular audits for a certain number of years going forward, to help ensure and prevent further abuse of income and assets held in offshore accounts. Those with repeated offenses or those not abiding by implemented regulations aimed at limiting abuse and increasing transparency should be subject to freezing of offshore assets/accounts, temporary barring of involvement or investment in offshore accounts, etc., and parties could be charged with criminal or civil offenses if deemed necessary. All parties involved should be required to publicly acknowledge their involvement with and the existence of such accounts, especially if these accounts could be considered a conflict of interest or lead to corruption. Spending and activity made through offshore accounts should be subject to more stringent regulation, oversight, limitations, and mandated transparency especially when accounts are associated with or contribute to domestic and/or foreign governments, political support, or large national and international organizations, actors, or businesses. |

Foreign Policy › Saudi Arabia and Iran
9>9 Personal answerYes, we should always promote diplomatic peace talks during foreign conflicts |
Education › Charter Schools
9>9 Personal answerCharter schools are great; however, they are not accessible to all students and, therefore, I don't agree with pulling money from mainstream public schools to fund them. We should focus on turning all public schools into "charter" schools and on increasing teacher salaries in order to help achieve this goal. |
Domestic Policy › TikTok Ban
