Political ideologies are coherent sets of beliefs and values that form a framework for understanding the role of government and the organization of society. They guide political behavior and policy decisions, influencing views on topics like economic distribution, individual liberties, and social justice.

Libertarian
Libertarianism is a political philosophy that upholds liberty as a core principle. Libertarians seek to maximize political freedom and autonomy, emphasizing freedom of choice, voluntary association, and individual judgment. They believe in the principle of self-ownership and reject any form of coercion or force that infringes upon individual rights. This ideology is often associated with a laissez-faire economic perspective, advocating for minimal state intervention in the economy and the free market.
The roots of libertarianism can be traced back to the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th centur… Read more

How do you think society would change if businesses operated with almost no government oversight?

Democracy
Democracy is a political ideology that is based on the principle of equality and freedom. It is a system of government where the citizens exercise power directly or elect representatives from among themselves to form a governing body, such as a parliament. Democracy is often associated with the rule of law, protection of human rights, and the active participation of the people in the political process.
The term "democracy" comes from the Greek words "demos" (people) and "kratos" (rule), which translates to "rule by the people". The concept of democracy… Read more

What would you do differently if for one day you held a position of significant political power?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution6mos6MO
Abolish the deep state, fire 85 percent of the federal government, abolish the welfare state, withdraw from all foreign wars, end the fed, return to the gold standard, abolish abortion, restore state's rights, and institute congressional term limits.
"Abolish" is strong term. What consequences do you predict from these actions? Do your opinions of what is right for you make it right for everyone?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution5mos5MO
The consequences of my plan include a return to constitutional, minimal government, the abolition of the Welfare-Warfare Empire of Lies, increased individual liberty, peace, prosperity, Christianity, and free markets. Welcome to the America the Founding Fathers envisioned.
@7ZNSCC2Libertarian1mo1MO
How do you reconcile the belief that the only sophisticated and highly effective part of the government is secretly trying to undermine you and the rest is incompetent? Have you examined the physiological implications of those beliefs?
If someday I held significant political power, I would make sure that everyone is treated with equality and respect, I would also focus on gun control and women's rights.
@9J3B4WK7mos7MO
Those three issues mentioned in the response are some of the most talked about issues in America. Personally, I feel as though they are the issues in the need of improving on the most.
@9J2YWX97mos7MO
Make schooling and medical care a free, Inalienable human right
@9J2Z7GT7mos7MO
Make all colleges the same price and under 10k a year in total cost.
@9J488FWIndependent6mos6MO
I don't know if this would be appropriate for private colleges. But, maybe put a cap on tuition for publicly funded schools and other costs like books and supplies. Higher education costs are in a runaway. Everyone deserves to better themselves.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Why do you think it's important, or not, for individuals to debate and discuss politics openly?
@9KN8DG65mos5MO
It is very important to be open about your opinions because if people are not exposed to the other side they get prideful and begin to think the other side is full of terrible people. Otherwise it would be the first idea presented always.
@9JB7TH4Progressive6mos6MO
Discussing politics leads to an exchanging of ideas that is important to our learning
@9JB7TZ26mos6MO
We need to have political participation or else we lose/forget the rights of the people.
@9JB4QNB6mos6MO
It's important to not debate because a person's point of view might differ from another person's
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
What's the most important quality you look for in a candidate when voting, and how does that reflect your values?
Competency and ensuring freedom and basic american ideals. I want a candidate that, especially in these times, will be willing to protect liberty for not just Americans but our allies and partners.
@9HZ2KW47mos7MO
Intelligence and those who share a majority of my views. This is pretty important considering it is an important quality.
@9HTRXDR7mos7MO
I look for honesty, morality, and intelligence in a candidate since it lets us know they're aware of what they're job is and how to protect our country.
@9HZ2HFH7mos7MO
How they can deal with tough situations and how much they can done in the office

If freedom of speech is crucial in a democracy, where should we draw the line when it comes to hate speech and misinformation?
@9HCRHLB8mos8MO
If the speech is directly threatening someone or something, I think it can be considered hate speech. Misinformation can be drawn when it is directly opposite of what the government is stating.
@9KN8DG65mos5MO
“Misinformation can be drawn when it is directly opposite of what the government is stating”
So if it goes against government its wrong. For some reason that doesn't sound right
@9HCS26S8mos8MO
Speech is fine until it activately calls for physical harm
@9HCRLZ58mos8MO
When people are lying about threats others have done or things that may harm people. When you feel unsafe around them.
many do not like the truth freedom of speech should still be allowed and when it comes to hate speech they should be stopped but you need to hear the people out and if they have a good reason something should be changed but if there isn't that will continue to happen but don't use force

Socialism
Socialism is a political ideology that advocates for the collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods. It emphasizes the principle that wealth and income should be shared more equally among the people. Socialists argue that the distribution of wealth and power in a society should be controlled by the whole community rather than by individuals or private corporations.
The roots of socialism as a political ideology can be traced back to the French Revolution in the late 18th century, but it was not until the 19th century that it… Read more

Should people who can't or don't want to work receive the same benefits as those who contribute to society?
@9HFMWP28mos8MO
No, People who are more willing to work with their community and to make more efficient communities should have help instead of the people who don't help whats so ever.
@9HCNSNP8mos8MO
No, Because the people who do work and contribute the society work hard for that and the ones who do nothing to help shouldn't get anything because they are waste of space that this country doesn't need.
@9H4QSGS8mos8MO
No if they are disabled then yes but if they don't want to then they are not a useful part of society
@PlayfulJusticeSocialism11mos11MO
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. - Winston Churchill
@9CJ6CB610mos10MO
Winston Churchill was an *** and don't even get me started on the long list of faults capitalism still holds.
"Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone."
@Patriot-#1776Constitution8mos8MO
Winston Churchill was one of the greatest men who ever lived! He saved not only his nation and Empire but also the Christian Civilisation! I have read Andrew Robert's 1100-page biography of him and clearly this man was not the deranged racist you leftists love to paint him as. He had indomitable courage, unshakable conviction, and dogged tenacity. His magnetic leadership skills, inspiration of his people, and oratorical brilliant have scare been paralleled in human history! He led Britain through the horrors of the Blitz, stood equally firm against the two evil socialist dictators of Hit… Read more
