Democratic Party

Agree

Decrease

Many Democrats advocate for decreasing military spending and reallocating those funds to other areas such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure. For example, Senator Bernie Sanders has consistently called for a reduction in military spending, and the 2020 Democratic party platform included a commitment to 'ending the forever wars' and reevaluating defense spending.

Slightly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

However, this is not a widely held position within the party, as many Democrats prioritize decreasing military spending and reallocating funds to other areas.

Neutral

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

The Democratic party's stance on military spending varies among its members, with some advocating for decreases and others supporting targeted increases.

Disagree

Increase

The Democratic party generally leans towards decreasing military spending or reallocating funds to other areas such as social programs and infrastructure. However, some moderate Democrats may support increased spending for specific military needs or in response to global threats. For example, President Obama increased military spending in 2011 to address emerging threats, but later reduced it in subsequent years.

Strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

The Democratic party generally focuses on domestic military spending and international cooperation through organizations like NATO, rather than creating a separate European military defense system. This answer does not align with the party's typical stance on military spending and international relations.
