Domestic Policy › Gun Control
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only as part of a nationally funded, locally administered mandatory "civil service," which would include weapon training and certification for all wishing to own and use firearms. |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Drug Price Regulation
8>8 Personal answerOnly when tax dollars went into their development. I think research and effort should be fairly compensated, but if taxes pay for it then it's at least partially a public good, and there should be some public power to negotiate on prices. |
Social › Gun Buyback
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Pre-Existing Conditions
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Social › Gender Transition
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only if they are at least 16 years old |

Social › Religious Freedom Act
8>8 Personal answerYes, but the owner must post a sign stating their beliefs and what they refuse |
Social › Transgender Athletes
8>8 Personal answerMaybe do it by weight classes or something. Skill and competitiveness should be the determining factors, not biological sex. |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
8>8 Personal answerNo, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
8>8 Personal answerYes, their services reach far beyond abortions and can save many lives through cancer screening, prenatal services, and adoption referrals |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
8>8 Personal answerNo, and eliminate all wage standards |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
8>8 Personal answerNo, hire professionally trained security guards instead |
the Environment › Climate Change
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
8>8 Personal answerYes, but the federal government should sponsor this program instead of businesses |

the Economy › Taxes
8>8 Personal answerAbolish the income tax, disallow all deductions and increase the sales tax |
Foreign Policy › Iran
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
8>8 Personal answerYes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
8>8 Personal answerNo, targeting Muslims is unconstitutional, racist, and incendiary |
Social › Racial Sensitivity Training
8>8 Personal answerNo, but ideally we'd be past all this shit by now. Let's teach the important stuff like "be nice" in early education, so we don't need it by the time you're working in the federal government. |
Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
8>8 Personal answerYes, we cannot end racism until we acknowledge that our institutions, laws, and history are inherently racist |

8>8 Personal answerNo |
Education › Student Loans
8>8 Personal answerYes, and increase government funding so every student receives a free college education |

8>8 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Immigration
8>8 Personal answerYes, but only after performing 4 years of military service or graduating college |
Social › Death Penalty
8>8 Personal answerNo, it's too damn expensive. |

8>8 Personal answerNo, the government should not decide what services a private business can provide |
Social › Hate Speech
8>8 Personal answerYes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech |
Social › Confederate Flag
8>8 Personal answerNo. I'm pro speech, but it's a literal rebel flag that was based in a nation designed to destroy our own. My ancestors fought for the south, and they lost. Get over it. Flying a rebel flag over government buildings, especially state buildings in the United STATES, should be treated as treasonous. Individuals can have them, private people can bring them to government property, but governments themselves should not fly them as a basic requisite for participating in the Union. |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Reform

Healthcare › Medicaid
8>8 Personal answerYes, but I prefer switching to a single payer healthcare system |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
8>8 Personal answerGovernment isn't the best agent of action here, but I could see funding independent review panels and creating a "truth test." Rather than saying what's not true, there could be someone that can verify what is, but this likely shouldn't be the government. |
Immigration › Border Security
8>8 Personal answerNo, and we should implement an open border policy |
Crime › Private Prisons
8>8 Personal answerNo, private prisons will sacrifice quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit |

8>8 Personal answerNo, and increase alternative energy subsidies to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels |

8>8 Personal answerYes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote |
Foreign Policy › NATO
8>8 Personal answerNo, it is obsolete and should be abolished |
Foreign Policy › Israel
8>8 Personal answerYes, but make them treat all their residents like people. |
Immigration › Border Wall
8>8 Personal answerNo, and we should adopt an open border policy |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
8>8 Personal answerYes, but the government should provide free language learning courses |
Crime › Defunding the Police
8>8 Personal answerNo, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities |

8>8 Personal answerYes, but like this one's too nuanced. I'd make everyone pass a test, and I'd also improve education in a lot of ways so people born and raised here could actually pass it too. |
Crime › Mandatory minimum prison sentences
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Medicare Drug Prices
8>8 Personal answerYes |

the Economy › Labor Unions
8>8 Personal answerHelp, in theory but have recently become corrupt and should have their powers limited |
