Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › Abortion
8>8 Personal answerPro-choice |
the Economy › Equal Pay
8>8 Personal answerNo, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
8>8 Personal answerAbsolutely not. Criminals do not follow laws. Furthermore, reduce the allowed age of buying a handgun to 18. |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
8>8 Personal answerYes. Body cams protect officers as much as they protect everyone else, at least for officers who are actually protecting the public and not abusing their power. |
Domestic Policy › Insurrection Act
8>8 Personal answerOnly if the local law enforcement has lost control of the situation and the protest has turned violent, endangering law-abiding citizens and property. |
Domestic Policy › COVID-19 School Closures
8>8 Personal answerMaybe, maybe not. It depends on the local population and risk of outbreak in the area. For rural areas, generally, no, as long as everyone wears a mask and practices hygiene they should be fine. In urban areas where it is more likely that someone will be caught with their mask down, to modify an old saying, yes. |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as funding is not used for abortion procedures |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
8>8 Personal answerNo, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as they can pass a criminal background check and hold a concealed carry permit. Criminals do not follow laws, 'gun free zones' are just 'sitting duck zones' to them. Allowing teachers and school staff to carry some form of weapon, be it a gun, sword, pilum, nunchaku, whatever, would allow a quick response to a shooting in progress. The police cannot teleport into school and the police are not invulnerable to bullets just as children aren't. |
the Environment › Climate Change
8>8 Personal answerNo, provide more incentives for alternative energy production instead |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
8>8 Personal answerYes, for both mothers and fathers. |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
8>8 Personal answerFor drugs like marijuana or shrooms, yes, and retroactively pardon all registered drug offenders. Give Kyle Myers his guns back while you're at it. |
the Economy › Taxes
8>8 Personal answerAbolish the income tax, disallow all deductions and increase the sales tax |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
8>8 Personal answerNo, service should be a choice instead of an obligation |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
8>8 Personal answerNo. They're just Muslims. No different from Catholics, really. Let them be. |
Education › Student Loans
8>8 Personal answerI do not support increasing taxes on any individual, only multinational corporations. |
Education › Free College for All
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Social › Government Mandates
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
8>8 Personal answerNo. The federal government should have no power to tell someone what kind of firearms they may or may not purchase. Discretion should be given to local lawmakers and firearms dealers. |
Domestic Policy › NSA Domestic Surveillance
8>8 Personal answerNo, and abolish the NSA |
Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Reform
8>8 Personal answerNo, and the Supreme Court should not be politicized |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
8>8 Personal answerYes, vaccinations are beneficial in maintaining herd immunity -- that is, immunity shared by a large population. This lowers the chance that an immunocompromised individual or an individual who cannot be vaccinated due to adverse reaction will get the disease that is being vaccinated for. |
Healthcare › Medicaid
8>8 Personal answerI would be open to some proposals to enact a government insurance safety net for essential, life-saving emergency procedures, ideally at the state level, while leaving all elective procedures to the free market and private insurance companies. I think that this mix of private and public services would be a fair compromise. |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
8>8 Personal answerNo. Wind power can definitely be good depending on the situation, however it is unreliable due to wind speed fluctuations, costly to install and maintain, and takes up far too much space to reasonably replace fossil fuels, other forms of green energy or nuclear power. |
Elections › Voter Fraud
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Alaska Wildlife Refuge
8>8 Personal answerNo, all wildlife refuges and state/national parks should be protected from anything that could harm the local environment. |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
8>8 Personal answerYes, but I would prefer to switch to a healthcare system that allows both single payer healthcare and free market healthcare, similar to countries like Australia. |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
8>8 Personal answerKeep current rates but eliminate deductions and loop holes |
Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
8>8 Personal answerI oppose any and all government surveillance, as it infringes upon the fourth amendment. Repeal the patriot act and hold the fed accountable for breaking the highest law of the land. |
the Economy › Government Spending
8>8 Personal answerNo, government officials such as congressmen should take a cut in pay. |
Foreign Policy › NATO
8>8 Personal answerCertainly, however NATO is obsolete to a certain extent and requires reform. |
Foreign Policy › Israel
8>8 Personal answerWe should cut a large portion of funding to Israel and recognize their crimes against the Palestinians. |
Immigration › Border Wall
8>8 Personal answerWe should build a wall along both borders, in an attempt both to reduce illegal immigration from Mexico and reduce it to Canada. |
Crime › Defunding the Police
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
8>8 Personal answerNo. Gun manufacturers and dealers did not commit the crime and usually would not knowingly sell a firearm to someone who meant ill with it. |
Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
8>8 Personal answerNo, they should speed up access to all sites, especially in rural areas with terrible internet for the price of good internet. |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
8>8 Personal answerNo, only legal citizens should be allowed to vote |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
8>8 Personal answerNo, it is necessary for violent criminals who are a danger to themselves and other inmates |
Crime › Mandatory minimum prison sentences
8>8 Personal answerNo, as long as no violent crime is committed, and legalize usage of marijuana for recreational and medical purposes. |
Domestic Policy › Affirmative Action
8>8 Personal answerNo, we should not treat someone better or worse because of their race, gender, religion, ethnic group, etc. |
Domestic Policy › Flag Burning
8>8 Personal answerNo, it’s just a piece of cloth that doesn’t represent what it should |
the Economy › Universal Basic Income
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Welfare
8>8 Personal answerNo changes needed |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
8>8 Personal answerYes, test anyone receiving money from the government including employees and politicians |
Foreign Policy › Soleimani
8>8 Personal answerI don't know enough about the situation to reliably answer. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
8>8 Personal answerI don't know enough about labor unions to form a reliable opinion. |
the Environment › Dakota Access Pipeline
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
8>8 Personal answerNo, increasing the capital gains tax will limit investment in our economy |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
8>8 Personal answerNo, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Whistleblower Protection
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
8>8 Personal answerYes, but scale back our current involvement and reform the UN. |
Healthcare › Obamacare
8>8 Personal answerI support the part where people with preexisting conditions cannot be denied healthcare, but generally healthcare shouldn’t be controlled by the government, since it increases wait times and becomes really inefficient and expensive. |
Foreign Policy › Afghanistan
8>8 Personal answerYes, slowly so we don't destabilize the region. |
the Environment › Fracking
8>8 Personal answerWhile it is a good economic and energy solution, more research is needed to make the process less harmful to the environment. |
Elections › Electoral College
8>8 Personal answerNo, the electoral college ensures representation of the whole country instead of just major cities |
Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
8>8 Personal answerCan't buy back what you didn't own in the first place. Absolutely not. |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
8>8 Personal answerDecrease, and begin bringing soldiers back home from overseas. Being the world's police is a waste of time, fuel, logistical prowess and ammunition. |
Science › Nuclear Energy
8>8 Personal answerYes, nuclear power is generally pretty safe, both for the environment and for local populations, as long as waste is handled properly and a reliable reactor is installed. We should also invest in discovering some form of synthetic gasoline to be used in road cars, as electric cars are not and likely will never be feasible in rural areas, due to lack of infrastructure and expense of installing said infrastructure. |
the Environment › Animal Testing
8>8 Personal answerYes. Animal testing is necessary to ensure that no humans are harmed by medical devices, medications or cosmetics. I don't really like it, but I see no sustainable alternative. |
Foreign Policy › Torture
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only as a last resort |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
8>8 Personal answerDecrease, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism |
Science › GMO Labels
8>8 Personal answerYes, I trust the science of responsible food engineering but I don’t trust the motives of the food companies selling them |
Crime › Prison Overcrowding
8>8 Personal answerDepends on what crime they committed |
Education › Universal Pre-K
8>8 Personal answerNo, government funded public school is garbage and my fear is that preschool would inherit some of the qualities of public school that make it bad. |
Transportation › Public Transportation
8>8 Personal answerKeep it at the state level |
the Economy › Estate Tax
8>8 Personal answerYes, and we should eliminate it |
Domestic Policy › Social Security
8>8 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
8>8 Personal answerNo, instead increase the availability of recycling for recyclable products. |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
8>8 Personal answerAfter finishing their sentence, yes. |
National Security › Military Congressional Approval
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Paris Climate Agreement
8>8 Personal answerYes, until other countries are held to the same standards |
National Security › Foreign Assassination
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › College Sports and COVID
8>8 Personal answerI honestly do not care about sports. |
Science › Space Exploration
8>8 Personal answerIt should continue doing what it does right now. Funding NASA's scanning procedures. Let companies like SpaceX handle actual space travel. |
Domestic Policy › Political Advertising on Social Media
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Edward Snowden
8>8 Personal answerAbsolutely. Snowden is an American hero, who exposed government surveillance for what it is. He should be pardoned for selling information to Russia, as well. He likely had to do that to ensure his survival. |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Corporate Subsidies
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as the local environment is not compromised |
Domestic Policy › Air Force One
8>8 Personal answerIt would be interesting to read on what they wish to do to 'upgrade' it. From what I understand, it's already top-of-the-line. |
