Strongly agree

Yes, and create more social programs to provide free food, clothing, and medicine

The Democratic party is generally more supportive of social programs that provide assistance to homeless individuals, such as free food, clothing, and medicine. They believe that addressing the root causes of homelessness and providing support to those in need is a more effective and compassionate approach than criminalizing or restricting where homeless individuals can sleep. Examples of Democratic support for such programs include the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act and various local initiatives in Democratic-led cities to provide resources for homeless individuals.
