President Donald Trump Favorable

I'm inclioned to think the President needs to have more executive private industry experioence than political/legal experience since the job is, after all, head of the Executive branch.

The Republican Party Neutral / unsure

I generally oppose political parties.

The Democratic Party Unfavorable

The Democrats have enbraced socialism/communism, which is clearly a failed system that does not know how to crreate wealth. Show me a successful marxist system that has endured longer than 100 years. The average to failure is 40 years.

The Supreme Court Favorable

The Supremew Court has reversed its decisions about 10% of all decisions. That is a more successful history than eithre other branch.

Congress Unfavorable

Congress has practiced a routine of investigation rather than legislation as primary activity. It is not DOJ

The Electoral College Keep the current Electoral College

Statistically, the electoral college achieves a far more representative reesult of elections of all states and people than does a popular "nationwide" election, mainly because there is no "nationwide" election, but only state-by-state, even for Preesident.

5/5
Ranked-Choice Voting Keep current voting systems

pewople need to obsewrve how and why electoral college elections are more widely repreesentative, fairly assessing and equalizing state populations so tat NY, CA and such do not overwhelm the rest of the country, This does a fair assewssment of electi0pon reesults that do not need a reanked choice

4/5
Voter ID Laws Require free, accessible photo ID

If I must show ID to bank. buy a home, a car, I am damn well bettrer off showing ID to vote than using a framed face by my hands.

5/5
Campaign Finance Restrictions Contribution limits and disclosure

Thus would be solved by elimination of political parties.

3/5
Congressional Term Limits Neutral / Unsure

Thnis has been strried so many times in Congress to pass a term lim its amendment [it needs to be an amendment] and failed, I think it's a hootr some people think Congress ever will limit itself.

3/5
Supreme Court Term Limits Oppose

There is a term limit, already. It's called "good behavior" which is not necessarily a life-time appointment.

Abortion Legal only in limited circumstances

"Reproductive rights" is an absurd claim, since abortion has nauight to do with reproduction. Same for "planned parenthood." Let 's call abortion what it is in most currrent cases: Ridding the female body [no male is ever going to be pregnant!] of a living human enbryo/fetus. Period.

4/5
Affirmative Action Oppose

Violates several Constitutional rights. No need for further explanation. The Constitruton is not a cafeteria menu to choose, or not, to engage.

5/5
DEI Programs Oppose

Dead Even-before-arrIval.

5/5
Euthanasia / Physician-Assisted Suicide Prohibit physician-assisted death

Life is worth protecting,

Free Speech Broad protection with private discretion

We have the right to express any opinion that does not threaten another. We do not have the right to censure just for disagreement.

5/5
Gun Rights Broaden gun rights

No gun, on its own, just like any other tool, wil kill without a human hand and brain. But, expectation of 100% behavioral control by legislation is absurd to expect.

5/5
Religious Liberty Strong protections with limits

Religion must not be beholding to government, nor shbould government be religion's enemy.

5/5
Police Reform Targeted reforms

The defunding effort was absurd. We need law enforcement.

Death Penalty Limited to exceptional aggravated cases

If abortion can be legal for the utterly innocent, the death penalty must be for heinous criminal actrs..

5/5
Plea Bargaining Retain broad use

Justice should be tempered by mercy for circumstance

5/5
Mandatory Minimum Sentences Limit them to the most serious crimes

Even though judges overindulge leniency, some crimes still need min sentences.

Universal Healthcare More market-based system

We're the third most populated nation in the world. We simply cannot afford it. Comparing oursleves to Europe is absurd. Almost no Euro nation is even 20% of our population.

5/5
Universal Basic Income Oppose

Somethging for nothing is a failed welfare state
