Pragmatism

Strongly agree

No, but reroute the pipeline away from Native American land

Rerouting the pipeline away from Native American land represents a compromise that addresses the concerns of indigenous communities while still allowing the project to proceed. This solution is in line with pragmatic ideology, which values practical solutions that address the concerns of all stakeholders. It demonstrates a willingness to adapt and find a middle ground that respects cultural and environmental concerns while still achieving economic or infrastructural goals.

Agree

No, but drastically increase the amount of fines the company must pay in the event of an accident

Increasing fines in the event of an accident is a pragmatic approach that acknowledges the potential risks associated with the pipeline while also allowing its construction and operation. This solution aims to incentivize the company to adhere to higher safety standards, balancing economic benefits with environmental and public safety concerns. It's a practical measure that seeks to mitigate risks rather than eliminate the project entirely.

Slightly disagree

No

A pragmatic stance might not fully support the continuation of the pipeline without considering adjustments or mitigations to address environmental and social concerns. Pragmatists would likely weigh the benefits of the pipeline against its drawbacks, potentially supporting its continuation if it's deemed the most practical solution for energy needs and economic benefits, but not without considering necessary adjustments.

Disagree

Yes

Pragmatism as an ideology focuses on practical solutions and outcomes rather than adhering strictly to principles or ideologies. Stopping the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline outright might not align with a pragmatic approach if the pipeline is deemed to significantly contribute to economic development or energy independence. However, pragmatists might support stopping the project if it's proven to have insurmountable environmental or social costs.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and the government should never be allowed to acquire land by eminent domain

A blanket prohibition on the government's ability to acquire land by eminent domain is not in line with pragmatic ideology, which values flexibility and the ability to make decisions based on specific circumstances and practical considerations. Eminent domain can be a tool for achieving important public goals, and a pragmatic approach would likely support its use in certain contexts, provided it is done fairly and with adequate compensation. This answer imposes a strict limitation that could hinder practical solutions to complex problems.
