Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
j>j Personal answerI don't know. I think the most important thing is insuring the wellbeing of the child. Are their any long term impacts on a child adopted by gay couples? If no, then allow them the same rights. |
Social › Abortion
j>j Personal answerPro-choice, I don’t agree but the government has no right to ban it. It should not be funded by the government for circumstances other than rape, incest or danger to mother or child. All other instances should be allowed if paid for by the individual. |
the Economy › Equal Pay
j>j Personal answerYes, provided all other factors, within reason, are equal. If the largest factor for a difference on wage is simply gender, and not education, work hours, etcetera, then that is discrimination. But other factors can and do impact a difference in wages between men and women, and that should not be ignored. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
j>j Personal answerNo, only for criminals and the mentally ill |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
j>j Personal answerYes, this will protect the safety and rights of police officers and citizens |

Elections › 2020 US Presidential Election Legitimacy
j>j Personal answerI don't believe that I have access to enough information to answer that question. Too many irregularities occurred during that time to simply say yes of no. |
Healthcare › Pre-Existing Conditions
j>j Personal answerNo |
Social › Gun Buyback
j>j Personal answerNo, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment |
Social › Gender Identity
j>j Personal answerYes, in instances like getting a job, or instances where biological gender is irrelevant and it doesn't compel individuals speech, such as forcing the use of pronouns under penalty of law. More elaboration is required, but this is the general idea. |
Healthcare › Mental Health
j>j Personal answerYes, but only increase funding for personalized care instead of subsidizing pharmaceutical companies |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
j>j Personal answerYes, but it should be handled respectfully. All people should be able to hold their respective beliefs without being discriminated against. The business owner should politely and respectfully explain why they won't accept a request and that it's not an attack on that person specifically, just that it would require going against what they believe. |
Social › Transgender Athletes
j>j Personal answerUnfortunately, I don't believe there is a simple answer to this question. There have been many cases where a transgender person has a clear advantage of their natural gendered athletes. However, I am unsure how to proceed in a fair way. |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
j>j Personal answerNo, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
j>j Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
j>j Personal answerNo, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle |

j>j Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Taxes
j>j Personal answerLower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations |

j>j Personal answerNo, the U.S. should encourage Iran to disarm through diplomatic channels |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
j>j Personal answerYes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
j>j Personal answerNo, this decision should be based on crime rates instead of race or religion |
Social › Racial Sensitivity Training
j>j Personal answerNo, just ensure there are clear guidelines, action, and accountability for acts of discrimination |
Elections › Foreign Lobbying
j>j Personal answerNo |
Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
j>j Personal answerNo, kids should be raised to be racially color blind instead of being taught they are inherently racist or disadvantaged based on the color of their skin |
Education › Student Loans
j>j Personal answerNo, but we should still reduce interest rates for student loans |
Immigration › Immigration
j>j Personal answerNo, they must formally apply like every other new citizen |

Social › Confederate Flag
j>j Personal answerNo, as the flag is no longer in use, the government should not fly it as it holds more value as a belief than to properly represent the government. I also believe that pride flags, blm flgas, nra flags, etcetera etcetera, should also be banned from government properly, as it shows favoritism toward one group or another. The government should represent the entire nation of its state, not a single group. |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
j>j Personal answerNo, it is unconstitutional to deny someone’s rights without due process |
Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Reform
j>j Personal answerNo, and the Supreme Court should not be politicized |
Social › Women in Combat
j>j Personal answerYes, as long as they can pass the same physical tests as men |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
j>j Personal answerNo, only if they are convicted of a violent crime |
Healthcare › Medicaid
j>j Personal answerYes, but only increase for the elderly and disabled |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
j>j Personal answerNo, but Social media platforms should also remain neutral. These platforms are far to pervasive to allow such a relatively small group of people dictate what shoukd be allowed or not. |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
j>j Personal answerYes, but only for deadly contagious diseases |
Crime › Qualified Immunity for Police
j>j Personal answerSituational. Ignorance of the law is not a defense for breaking the law, especially when you are the one enforcing the law. However, the legal system is overly complex, with numerous laws that even law enforcement are unaware of ir misunderstand. |
