Social › Abortion
M>M Personal answerPro-choice |

Social › Gender Transition
M>M Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Mental Health
M>M Personal answerThis is one of those relative questions that cannot reasonably be answered if you want to compare your stances with parties from multiple countries. I’m sure some countries have adequate mental health funding while others do not. |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
M>M Personal answerYes, but the owner must post a sign stating their beliefs and what they refuse |
Social › Transgender Athletes
M>M Personal answerYes, as long as they have been reasonably assessed to not have an unfair advantage due to being transgender |

M>M Personal answerNo, because I don’t believe such a policy can successfully avoid also unfairly restricting those who wish to leave that religion. |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
M>M Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Minimum Wage

M>M Personal answerNo, the U.S. should encourage Iran to disarm through diplomatic channels |
the Economy › Taxes
M>M Personal answerYes, at time of writing I am fairly sure every country should raise taxes on the rich (of course, if I wasn’t fairly sure of that, this question would be impossible to reasonably answer given that I want my answers to make sense across different countries, since as far as I can tell this same question is being used for every country with the country name dynamically substituted, rather than using individual questions per country [for purposes of ongoingly testing this: I entered this answer on the France question]) |
Elections › Mental competency testing
M>M Personal answerA mental competency test for all politicians sounds great, but to be actually good it would need to be decided on by a group more mentally competent than any politicians currently in charge anywhere. |

Social › Death Penalty
M>M Personal answerNo |

M>M Personal answerYes, and legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it |
Social › Hate Speech
M>M Personal answerSpeech that incites violence should not be protected by freedom of speech laws. A well‐written law will say something like that instead of using the phrase “hate speech”. |

Social › Government Mandates
M>M Personal answerYes |

Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
M>M Personal answerYes |
Crime › Defunding the Police
M>M Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Israeli Palestinian Conflict
M>M Personal answerKilling people is bad, religion is bad, terrorism is bad, Netanyahu is bad, Hamas is bad. Whenever Netanyahu and the rest of the Israeli right wing is voted out of power, there may be some hope for a peaceful resolution. (I’d list Hamas being deposed as a necessary component as well, but my understanding is there already is an alternative non‐terrorist government of Palestine). |
Social › Euthanasia
M>M Personal answerDeath is bad. Encourage cryonic suspension instead. |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
M>M Personal answerIncrease (but it would be better to just get rid of this restriction completely) |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
M>M Personal answerNo, I am in general in favor of open borders. Also, citizenship tests very often turn out to contain bizarre and unnecessary questions. |
