9>9 Personal answerYes, but student interest rates should be made affordable for all regardless of tax rates on certain income brackets. |

9>9 Personal answerYes, but direct most of the funding towards lower-income or middle-income students. We should also heavily reduce student interest rates and make community college free for all. |

Minor crimes should be taken into consideration after a certain accumulated amount. |
Healthcare › Medicaid
9>9 Personal answerYes, but I prefer switching to a single payer healthcare system |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
9>9 Personal answerNot regulate per se, but the standards of libel and slander should be drastically altered to reduce the protection of 'editorial content' when falsely presented as news. These companies should be required to report such misinformation to the appropriate independent judicial body while facing major fines otherwise. |

9>9 Personal answerYes, but only on wasteful spending. No broad or large austerity measures. Tax proportionally based on wealth. |

9>9 Personal answer"Yes, but anyone 16-18 voting should be required to pass a test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote." |
Foreign Policy › Israel

Foreign Policy › NATO
9>9 Personal answerYes, but make other members pay their fair share of their GDP. |
Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Financial Transactions
9>9 Personal answerAbsolutely. In fact, such ground should be immediate grounds for impeachment and removal. A comprehensive ethics code for the Supreme Court should be instituted as well. |
Foreign Policy › Ukrainian Defense Funding
9>9 Personal answerYes, and increase the current amount of resources we are providing |
Immigration › Border Wall
9>9 Personal answerNo, focus on fixing the broken immigration system and creating a straightforward path to citizen. A wall would be laughably ineffective and a waste of money. |

Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
9>9 Personal answerNo, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet |
Social › First Amendment

Dealers can be sued if the person who committed the crime did not pass sufficient background checks and the dealer did not conduct thorough investigations. |
Crime › Defunding the Police
9>9 Personal answerTo an extent, yes. Redirect funding for high dollar, military grade equipment to community outreach and engagement for a more positive and meaningful relationship.

the Economy › Universal Basic Income
9>9 Personal answerYes, for all minors, elders (65+), pregnant women, new mothers and fathers, people with physical or mental issues, and involuntary unemployed willing to train and accept job offers and as a replacement for the current welfare system. Institute such a change gradually however to prevent major disruption. |
Domestic Policy › Flag Burning
9>9 Personal answerNo, I don’t respect anyone who does but they should have the right to do so |
the Economy › Welfare
9>9 Personal answerWelfare should be reformed to be a temporary subsidy with a graduated level of benefit. Persons with disability, short term medical conditions (including pregnancy), loss of employment, or other extenuating circumstances should receive benefits and assistance with training, education or rehabilitation based on their need. The current system is too one-size fits all and encourages abuse because there is no exit strategy in place. You can provide more tailored benefits if you identify areas of need (housing/education/healthcare/long-term benefits/substance abuse) and save funding for most high-risk cases. |
Crime › Demilitarize the Police
9>9 Personal answerNo, extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment |
the Economy › Free Tax Filing
9>9 Personal answerYes, and drastically simplify the tax code to eliminate loopholes for the rich and confusion among the general taxpaying public. The working class should not be taxed; labor should not be taxed, capital and land should be. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
9>9 Personal answerUnions are not universally helpful or harmful. They are essential for curbing work power imbalance and fixing some major issues in employee health, but they can also be a major stumbling block in efficiency and progress. |

Education › Common Core
9>9 Personal answerI support a national standard of some sort but I also think we should do what we can to base education around each student’s own learning style and personal potential.

Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
9>9 Personal answerYes, but in cases of extreme national emergency or great benefit to the community and only for public projects if other equivalent locations are NOT available. Owners should be paid well above fair market value for the inconvenience (they are not choosing this and are being forced). |
Elections › Electoral College
9>9 Personal answerYes, switch to a ranked-choice voting system but also put provisions in place to ensure that small-town rural and suburban America retains an equal voice and representation of their interests against the populated cities |

9>9 Personal answerNo, unless North Korea attacks us or one of our OECD friends first |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
9>9 Personal answerIncrease only for countries with clear humanitarian needs. Decrease for countries with a history of corruption and end aid for nations who violate human rights or promote terrorism |
Healthcare › VA Privatization
9>9 Personal answerLess. Assimilate the Veterans Affairs healthcare program into one, large single payer healthcare program so veterans can access high-quality healthcare at all times. |
Education › School Vouchers
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only for low-income students and/or students who excel in academics, sports, or public service. |
Science › GMO Labels
9>9 Personal answerYes, and there should be more education on what GMOs actually are, because it is the most promising solution to end world hunger |

Social › Employee Diversity Training
9>9 Personal answerNo, only for employees that commit acts of discrimination |
Education › Charter Schools
9>9 Personal answerNot really. Charter schools are great only because they receive far more funding than public schools; they also aren’t accessible to a lot of students.

9>9 Personal answerYes, but preferably when the war ends to avoid a potentially catastrophic direct Russia/NATO conflict |

9>9 Personal answerNo. It should mirror a progressive tax rate that annualizes over a working career. |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
9>9 Personal answerYes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
9>9 Personal answerYes, but not until making environmentally-friendly alternatives that exist at the same (or lower) price for consumers. There are some products that are compostable already and those should be used instead. Medical supplies/devices that cannot be would be an exception. |

the Economy › China Tariffs
9>9 Personal answerNo, but their unfair trade practices and theft of intellectual property must be addressed. |
Science › Space Exploration

the Economy › Federal Reserve
9>9 Personal answerYes, we deserve to know who the bank gives money to |

the Economy › Tariffs
9>9 Personal answerNo, only on countries that violate treaties, trade deals and human rights. |

9>9 Personal answerIt should not be up to the United States and other world powers as to what is the capital of any foreign nation, rather up to the citizens of that nation. |

the Economy › Surcharge Ban
