JE>JE Personal answerYes, but start with a voluntary buyback and ban on purchasing assault weapons before enforcing a mandatory buyback |
Social › Gender Identity
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and the government should do more to protect minorities from discrimination |
Social › Gender Transition
JE>JE Personal answerNo, unless the child has been diagnosed with severe gender dysphoria that poses a high risk of suicide; to save a child's life, it absolutely should be allowed. However, we need to conduct far more research concerning the safety, risks, and long-term health effects of gender-transitioning treatments. As such, we should limit gender-transitioning treatments for minors until we have scientific evidence of the health risks involved; if research proves the longitudinal safety of these treatments, they should be allowed under thorough medical supervision with proper diagnostics. |
Healthcare › Mental Health
JE>JE Personal answerYes, our mental healthcare system needs more funding to provide a higher quality of care and services. The government should fund, promote, and support the education of people who wish to work in the field of mental health. Further, all mental health services should be free to patients and the government should pay competitive, incentivizing wages to mental health workers. |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but only for small businesses, and the owner must post a sign stating their beliefs and what they refuse. |
Social › Transgender Athletes
JE>JE Personal answerNo, but sporting events should be established specifically for transgender athletes, similar to the Paralympics. This seems like the most fair option. |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
JE>JE Personal answerNo, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional; however, increased screening of prospective immigrants from "high-risk" countries should be incorporated into the Patriot Act. |
Education › Student Loan Forgiveness
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but we should cancel all student loan debt and make education free |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and all services provided by Planned Parenthood should be free; there should be free, accessible options for all healthcare services throughout the nation, funded by the government. |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and adjust it every year according to inflation |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
JE>JE Personal answerNo, hire professionally trained security guards instead |
the Environment › Climate Change
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but the federal government should sponsor this program instead of businesses |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but only in cases where the drug is non-lethal and not involved in a violent incident; regardless, all harmful drug use and addiction should be treated as a mental condition first, and a crime second. Further, our country should expand rehabilitation, safe-use clinic resources, and prevention efforts. |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
JE>JE Personal answerNo, we already have term limits that are called “elections,” but we should increase efforts to prevent corruption and ensure performance quality. |
Foreign Policy › Iran
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but only if our other allies agreed to get involved at the same rate; and, the war should focus on providing power to the people of Iran, reducing civilian casualties, and fighting against Iran's severe human rights violations (especially against women). |
the Economy › Taxes
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but in addition to that, lower taxes for the poor and remove all existing loopholes. |
Elections › Mental competency testing
JE>JE Personal answerYes, so long as restrictions are implemented to eliminate the abuse of the testing process, mental competency is precisely defined, results and testing procedures are heavily supervised, and all politicians are given the same requirements regardless of age. |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on skill development and public service, like infrastructure work; the completion of 1 year of compulsory military service should grant free higher education (including apprenticeships, graduate degrees, and career-advancement necessities) for all U.S. citizens. |
Social › Racial Sensitivity Training
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and also include LGBTQ+ topics |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
JE>JE Personal answerNo, this decision should be based on crime rates instead of race or religion |
Elections › Foreign Lobbying
JE>JE Personal answerNo, foreign interests should not be able to buy the influence of our politicians |
Immigration › Immigration
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and their parents should be provided with a far easier path to citizenship, so long as they are not involved in any violent crime. |
Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but in age-appropriate increments, while placing the blame on the individuals and entities that actively participated in, upheld, or implemented racist practices; strong effort should be made to avoid instigating undue guilt among the children. This curriculum should also include actionable, hopeful sentiments, so the children aren't left feeling powerless. Additionally, the 1619 Project, Intersectionality, and extensive Native American history should also be implemented into the curriculum. |
Education › Student Loans
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and increase government funding so every student receives a free college education |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but only if it is safe for them to return to their country of origin, and only for violent crimes. |
Social › Death Penalty
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but with two limitations. The death penalty should only be used for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, and when the cost of death penalty procedures (appeals, investigations, and instrumentation) is less than the cost of life imprisonment. |
Healthcare › Marijuana
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses |
Education › Free College for All
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and all higher education costs, including apprenticeships, should be paid for by the government. Increasing the education of our population will improve our country in unimaginable ways; for example, we could solidify our status as world-industry leaders, easily out-pacing other countries, which could reduce our current rate of outsourcing, thereby decreasing our national deficit. |
Social › Hate Speech
JE>JE Personal answerNo, however, hate speech should have a concrete definition created by a non-partisan group with a focus on preventing violence. Penalties should increase as the risks or statements of violence increase. |
Social › Confederate Flag
JE>JE Personal answerNo, it is a symbol of racism, separatism and treason |
Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Reform
JE>JE Personal answerYes, 5 democratically elected judge seats should be added; however, there should not be term limits, but impeachment policy expansion, yearly investigations, and more stringent rules on what constitutes "good Behaviour," as per the Constitution, should be incorporated. |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
JE>JE Personal answerYes, if the government considers you too dangerous to board a plane you should not be able to buy a gun |
Social › Government Mandates
JE>JE Personal answerYes, except for religious organizations and charities that oppose the use of contraception; however, religious organizations must make their stances clear prior to patient intake, and must be prohibited from unduly influencing the birth-control choices of their patients based on morals rather than medical practice. Further, there should be free, accessible options for all healthcare services throughout the nation, funded by the government. |
Domestic Policy › NSA Domestic Surveillance
JE>JE Personal answerNo, and enact legislation preventing government surveillance of citizen communications without probable cause. |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
JE>JE Personal answerNo, only if they are convicted of a violent crime |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
JE>JE Personal answerYes, gerrymandering gives an unfair advantage to the party in power during redistricting |
Healthcare › Medicaid
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but I prefer switching to a single payer healthcare system |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but only if an independent judiciary agency is established for proper oversight to avoid any political bias. Regardless, fake and misleading news is highly damaging to democracy, so there should be additional federal laws to criminalize and punish the individuals and organizations who create or knowingly share, distribute, or promote false information. |
Social › Women in Combat
JE>JE Personal answerYes, as long as they can pass the same physical tests as men |
Crime › Private Prisons
JE>JE Personal answerNo, private prisons will sacrifice quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
JE>JE Personal answerYes, with only medically-based exceptions: children should not be vaccinated with the presence of related, medically proven allergies, history of unduly detrimental vaccine reactions, or physician-led determination of reasonable situations where vaccination would be medically inappropriate. Vaccines protect all children, but especially those who cannot receive vaccines for the medically-based exceptions above; as such, vaccines should be a federal requirement with medical regulation. |
Immigration › Border Security
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but refocus the Border Patrol toward preventing illicit substance smuggling and violent crime. We should make it far easier for new immigrants to gain temporary work visas and eventual citizenship, so they do not feel the need to cross illegally; however, we should also conduct extensive background checks on all prospective immigrants and implement a 5-year surveillance program after their entry to mitigate against terrorism. |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but with some exceptions. This should be a strict requirement for large corporations, but less strict for smaller organizations. Within smaller organizations, the requirement for at least one woman on their board of directors should only be enforced if the prospective women applicants have similar qualifications to their male counterparts. This same pattern of inclusion should be applied to other minority groups as well. |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
JE>JE Personal answerYes, for all care if they pay taxes, and for life-threatening emergencies or infectious diseases even if they do not pay taxes; regardless, illegal immigrants should be provided with a far easier path to working visas and citizenship if they are not engaged in any violent crime. |
Crime › Qualified Immunity for Police
JE>JE Personal answerNo; increase personal and department liability for misconduct, increase the standards for required training and continuing education, and eradicate common loopholes like officer transferring. It is ridiculous not to expect officers to know how to do their job and follow laws themselves. |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
JE>JE Personal answerYes, the government should support more sustainable energy technologies |
Immigration › Sanctuary Cities
JE>JE Personal answerYes, sanctuary cities are protected under the 10th amendemnt |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
JE>JE Personal answerYes, private companies should not be able to profit off of healthcare. However, before a single-payer system is implemented, the government should fund, promote, increase, and support the education of new healthcare workers to increase the accessibility of healthcare and avoid the horrendous wait times faced by other countries that have a single-payer system. There should be more open seats in medical education and residency institutions, but current licensing standards and regulations should still be maintained to ensure the quality of new workers. |
Elections › Campaign Finance
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and ban all political donations and publicly fund elections |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
JE>JE Personal answerYes, create a simple path to citizenship for immigrants with no criminal record |
the Environment › Alaska Wildlife Refuge
JE>JE Personal answerNo, and increase alternative energy subsidies to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
JE>JE Personal answerIncrease for large multinational corporations but lower for small businesses |
Social › Safe Spaces
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but the use of safe spaces should have limitations. First, the school should do everything in its power to reduce speakers or events that plan on using logical fallacies; fact-sharing with civility should be exemplified. Second, if a topic that may trigger post-traumatic stress response will be discussed by a speaker or at an event (such as the subject of rape), the school should provide trigger warnings and only allow students who have a history of related trauma to utilize a safe space and avoid the content. Otherwise, it is important for students to face opposing views, even if it makes them uncomfortable, as these experiences foster growth, understanding, empathy, civil debate, and other vital life skills. |
Elections › Voter Fraud
JE>JE Personal answerNo, and we should ensure that everyone has access to a free photo ID before we even consider instating it as a voter requirement. |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Elections
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but only to protect the country from human rights violations by a tyrannical ruler |
Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
JE>JE Personal answerNo, the Patriot Act should only garner support once there are constitutional regulations in place, to protect the safety of citizens' privacy and prevent cruel and unusual punishment against immigrants. Searching private homes without a warrant and probable cause is unconstitutional, and should not be a provision of this Act. Any surveillance of citizens' telephone, email, or financial records without a court order should require stringent probable cause. Any criminal evidence found through anti-terrorism investigations should only be used as it relates to terrorism or imminent violent crime, and not to any other type of crime. Further, an oversight government agency should be created to promote proper checks and balances. |
the Economy › Government Spending
JE>JE Personal answerNo, increase taxes on the wealthy instead |
Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass
JE>JE Personal answerNo, however, employees who will not be able to maintain social distance procedures at physical locations should be required to work remotely unless they receive the vaccine; of course, there should be medical exemptions. Employees who do not have a medical exemption and choose to remain unvaccinated have a right to their own body, but should not have the right to risk infecting everyone else. |
Foreign Policy › Ukrainian Defense Funding
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but at a rate that is equal to Ukraine's other allies, while placing tariffs, embargoes, or other deterrents on Russia when reasonable. We should focus far more on providing humanitarian aid, rather than combat resources. Ukraine is not a member of NATO and has not been allowed to join due to the possibility of increased tensions and another world war; therefore, it is not under NATO's protection and we are not obligated to provide military aid. |
Foreign Policy › Israel
JE>JE Personal answerNo, we should only support the implementation of anti-terrorism and human rights measures; both Israel and Palestine have committed horrible acts of violence against each other, and this must stop. The U.S. should support diplomacy, reconciliation, and peaceful solution-building between these warring parties. |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
JE>JE Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Supreme Court Financial Transactions
JE>JE Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › NATO
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but make other members pay their fair share of their GDP. |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but the government should provide free language learning courses while still providing multilingual translations of important agreements so the individual will know what they are signing. Completely deterring individuals who do not speak English is unconstitutional and would decrease the diversity that makes our country wonderful. |
Social › First Amendment
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but do not waste money removing existing references |
Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
JE>JE Personal answerNo, this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices |
Immigration › Border Wall
JE>JE Personal answerNo, this would be too costly and ineffective. Instead, we should increase border patrol and refocus patrolling energy toward the prevention of illicit substance smuggling; simultaneously, we should expand our visa and immigration opportunities. |
Healthcare › Medicaid Work Requirement
JE>JE Personal answerNo, the vast majority of people who receive Medicaid are disabled |
Domestic Policy › Congressional ban on stock trading
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but the STOCK Act should be expanded to include much stricter protections against insider trading with immensely increased penalties against members of Congress who breach the Act, and all trades from members of Congress should be publicly reported in real-time. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
JE>JE Personal answerYes, any business should be held liable if the primary use of its product is for illegal activity |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and we should create more social programs to help prevent and rehabilitate criminals |
Crime › Defunding the Police
JE>JE Personal answerYes, replace police with unarmed, thoroughly trained, community-based responders for non-violent calls; and for violent calls, require a mental health advocate to respond with the police. |
Social › Niqāb
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member |
Social › Euthanasia
JE>JE Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and all U.S.-born citizens should take a citizenship test when they turn 18. Free classes regarding language, history, and government competency should be provided to all individuals before they take this test; and, accessibility to these classes should be expansive, accounting for diversity, minority, and broad socioeconomic inclusion. A program like this would increase knowledgeable political engagement and conduct. |
Crime › Mandatory minimum prison sentences
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but only for drug dealers, not users |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
JE>JE Personal answerIncrease, but also implement regulations to prevent decreased wages and discriminatory hiring practices; pay rates for all jobs should be published, and the most qualified individual should receive the position to maintain a competitive, yet fair, market. |
Domestic Policy › Affirmative Action
JE>JE Personal answerRegardless, we should create more social programs to address poverty |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
JE>JE Personal answerNo, only legal citizens should be allowed to vote, but we should increase citizenship opportunities for immigrants. |
Healthcare › Safe Haven
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but the funding for "safe havens" should not be greater than funding for rehabilitation centers; and, rehabilitation services should be free. |
Healthcare › Medicare Drug Prices
JE>JE Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Corporate Mega Mergers
JE>JE Personal answerYes, if the merged corporation would have more than 25% of the market share |
the Economy › Welfare
JE>JE Personal answerFewer, and ensure benefits go to those that need it most |
the Economy › Universal Basic Income
JE>JE Personal answerYes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing |
Domestic Policy › Flag Burning
JE>JE Personal answerNo, I don’t respect anyone who does but they should have the right to do so |
Crime › Demilitarize the Police
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but with strict training on how and when to use the equipment, narrow definitions for qualifying incidents, and harsh penalties for breaches of use. |
the Economy › Free Tax Filing
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and the IRS should drastically simplify the tax code to eliminate loopholes for the rich and confusion among the general taxpaying public; additionally, they should send taxpayers a prefilled tax return that can be accepted or contested. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
JE>JE Personal answerHelp |
Elections › Campaign Finance
JE>JE Personal answerNo, these types of donations just turn into bribes |
the Environment › Dakota Access Pipeline
JE>JE Personal answerNo, but repurpose and reroute the pipeline to distribute clean water to areas experiencing drought, and Native American Reservations like the Navajo Nation. |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but provide treatment for those testing positive |
the Economy › Economic Stimulus
JE>JE Personal answerYes, the government should intervene to boost a recovery |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and all income should be taxed at the same rate |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and they should also be eligible for financial assistance and scholarships if they pay taxes; further, they should be given a far easier path to citizenship, especially if they are classified as "Dreamers." |
Education › Common Core
JE>JE Personal answerNo, as the current implementation has many deficiencies. Education should teach to each student's potential, and only use national standards as a means to gauge the efficacy of our educational programs; test results should only marginally affect students' grades in order to provide some level of performance incentive, but avoid having the failings of the educational system reflect poorly on students. Further, test results should not impact funding; everyone's education is important. |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
JE>JE Personal answerNo, but gradually dismantle current oil drilling operations at the fastest possible pace that accounts for the reasonable ability of citizens and businesses to switch to clean-energy alternatives; massive amounts of funding and incentives should be provided to the clean-energy sector. Further, current oil-drilling operations should be held to the utmost safety protocol and non-partisan oversight with at least yearly inspections. All current safety loopholes must be completely eliminated; and, all financial, inside connection, or intimidation influences from fossil-fuel proponents should be forbidden from oversight agencies. Should a safety-related incident occur, the company should be severely penalized and held responsible for cleaning any spill, notifying the government and local communities immediately, and mitigating any lasting effects like diseases caused by exposure. |
Healthcare › World Health Organization
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but only relative to the amount that other countries contribute |
Domestic Policy › Whistleblower Protection
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but only if releasing the information does not threaten our national security |
Social › Teacher and Faculty Diversity Training
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and all schools should require mandatory diversity training |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but demand equally scaled, ratioed contributions from all member countries. |
Healthcare › Obamacare
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but a single-payer system would be even better with the right provisions, regulations, and preventative foresight. |
the Environment › Fracking
JE>JE Personal answerNo, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead, and work on removing current pollutants from our groundwater sources. |
Elections › Candidate Transparency
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and require a public audit each year they are in office |
Elections › Lobbyists
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and expand limitations to create strict regulations involving all forms of lobbying; the voice of the general populous should matter more than the select few voices that can afford to lobby. |
the Economy › Overtime Pay
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and all employees should be paid time-and-a-half for overtime hours regardless of their pay scale |
Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
JE>JE Personal answerYes, as long as landowners are fairly compensated and the projects will benefit the community |
Elections › Mail in ballots
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but add stricter requirements for eligibility and verification of mail-in ballots, and looser requirements for in-person voting. |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
JE>JE Personal answerDecrease, and reconfigure the current military budget. The government should substantially decrease spending via improved efficiency and cuts to wasteful spending and unnecessary projects. After these cuts, at least 4 areas of budget reconfiguration must take place. First, a great portion of the remaining budget should be rerouted to fairly increase the wages of those who work for the military. Second, we should provide greater incentives to active-duty members. Third, an allocation should be made to prioritize the safety and training of active-duty members. And fourth, another substantial portion of the budget should be realigned to fund veteran services. |
Social › Student Diversity Training
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and all schools should require mandatory diversity training |
Crime › Collective Bargaining
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and completely eliminate collective bargaining in cases of violent or prejudicially-based misconduct. |
Elections › Electoral College
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and switch to a representative democracy (popular vote) system after eliminating gerrymandering. Further, the government should provide free, highly accessible citizenship classes, opposing view explanations, and non-partisan fact sheets, while taking reasonable action to protect citizens from false information. |
the Environment › Animal Testing
JE>JE Personal answerNo, AI Systems like BIOiSIM should replace animal testing. |
Science › Nuclear Energy
JE>JE Personal answerYes, temporarily while we increase investment into cleaner renewable alternatives |
Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties
JE>JE Personal answerNo, penalties should align with the severity of the drug trafficking crime, as per the Eight Amendment; the death penalty is far too severe for most cases. |
Foreign Policy › Torture
JE>JE Personal answerNo, torture is inhumane, unethical, and violates the 8th amendment; it is also ineffective, and therefore a needless cruelty. We should strictly follow the laws of the Geneva Convention. |
Elections › Criminal Politicians
JE>JE Personal answerYes, as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
JE>JE Personal answerNeither, but focus on drastically reducing our national budget deficit first, then allotting an increase in conjunction with the United Nations: Human Rights division. |
Foreign Policy › North Korea Military Strikes
JE>JE Personal answerNo, we must use every diplomatic option first |
Healthcare › VA Privatization
JE>JE Personal answerMore, until we increase funding and greatly improve the current system; we should make foundational preparations, and then change all healthcare to a single-payer system. |
Education › School Vouchers
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and improve public schools as well. |
Foreign Policy › Drones
JE>JE Personal answerNo, the military has no right to do so without a Congressional declaration of war, especially if the military does not have permission from the country whose borders will be breached. This could spark a war and may lead to horrendous human rights violations, which the U.S. has a history of doing. |
Science › GMO Labels
JE>JE Personal answerNo, all the food we eat is genetically modified due to thousand of years of selective breeding (this includes both plants and animals). If we stuck with the technical definition, all food would require a GMO label under this proposal; and, if we change the definition to include only recent modifications from the past 100 years, it would add unfounded stigma to the science, and inhibit this promising solution to ending world hunger. However, further health research should be conducted by independent, non-partisan groups without funding, influence, or interference from biased companies. |
Crime › Prison Overcrowding
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and the prison system should be overhauled. The fact that our prisons are overcrowded, and the U.S. has the highest rates of incarcerated individuals among developed nations, attests to the dysfunction of our current system; we falsely imprison far too many people, then use them for slave labor while stripping them of their constitutional rights. The privatization of prisons should be illegal. We should focus on increasing justice, issuing reasonable punishment for crimes, and shifting the goal of our prisons toward rehabilitation. |
Education › Universal Pre-K
JE>JE Personal answerYes, as long as parents also have the option to send their child to private school |
Housing › Homeless Encampments
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but the government should designate additional areas of public property to create small housing communities that pose fewer requirements on those who sign-up for a space, though individual and community-based safety measures should be extensive. These communities should also offer free food, clothes, hygiene products, medical services, mental health counseling, and "safe havens." Further, the government should fund, create, and strongly encourage the homeless population to participate in programs related to rehabilitation, skill-building, mental health, and societal reinstatement. |
Transportation › Public Transportation
JE>JE Personal answerYes, with an emphasis on providing free, environmentally friendly public transportation options. |
Social › Employee Diversity Training
JE>JE Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Ukraine and Nato
JE>JE Personal answerNo, this should be decided after the current war ends so we avoid a third world war |
Immigration › Dual Citizenship
JE>JE Personal answerYes, unless they have committed certain types of crime. First, an international financial felony; second, any violent felony; and third, an act of terrorism or proven plan to commit an act of terrorism. |
Domestic Policy › Social Security
JE>JE Personal answerNo, and we should provide livable pensions for everyone as soon as they turn 65. |
the Economy › Estate Tax
JE>JE Personal answerNo, and increase it at a progressive rate |
Education › Charter Schools
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but only if they are non-profit, do not decrease the funding of public schools, and follow reasonable quality-control policies. |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
JE>JE Personal answerYes, with a few exceptions. Felons convicted of violent crimes, voter fraud, or severe financial fraud should not be allowed to vote. Further, elevated members of all branches of our government should not be allowed to vote if they breach a code of conduct related to their position in a way that harms the general public, endorses corruption, or threatens democracy. |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and ban all disposable products that are not made of at least 75% of biodegradable material |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
JE>JE Personal answerNo, they should be tried in military tribunals but not subject to torture |
National Security › Military Congressional Approval
JE>JE Personal answerThe President should be able to authorize the use of military force in time critical situations that require an immediate response. These actions should not be allowed to continue beyond 30 days without congressional approval or authorization. |
the Economy › Four-day Workweek
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and require overtime pay for work over four days per week |
the Economy › Tech Monopolies
JE>JE Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Paris Climate Agreement
JE>JE Personal answerThe Paris Agreement is not effective to curb climate change and is rather a way for countries to give the illusion of action to their people. Treat global warming as an urgent national security issue, solve it, and then let a thousand economic flowers bloom. In any case, feckless accords of this nature are not ideal but as it is non-binding, I don't really care. |
Healthcare › Medical Consensus
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and all doctors should have annual required courses to learn about the year's new scientific advances in the medical field. |
National Security › Foreign Assassination
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but only if there is undeniable evidence they are planning to attack our country |
Foreign Policy › NATO
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but we should make efforts to ensure that each country is contributing to NATO in a fair way; this wouldn't have to be strict increases to military defense budgets. Regardless, refusing to defend other NATO countries would set a dangerous precedent for the balance of global power. |
the Economy › Domestic Jobs
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and drastically increase taxes and import tariffs on outsourcing businesses |
Science › Space Exploration
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but not until we drastically decrease our federal deficit and substantially increase funding toward saving Earth, reversing climate change, and providing increased quality of life for our citizens first. After these prerequisites are put in motion, the United States should simultaneously fund space travel and drastically increase NASA's current budget as a way to promote scientific advancement and discovery. |
the Economy › China Tariffs
JE>JE Personal answerYes, China should be punished for artificially manipulating their currency |
Domestic Policy › TikTok Ban
JE>JE Personal answerNo, but the government should increase regulation and oversight where possible. Further, the government should create more extensive regulations for and collaborate with internet-connected, electronic device manufacturing companies to expand protections against data collection. Additionally, the government could also encourage and support U.S.-based companies to create a new, similar social media app as a means of competition; this is a great option that would promote economic growth and the free market system. |
the Economy › NAFTA
JE>JE Personal answerYes, NAFTA helps lower the prices of consumer products |
the Economy › Gas Tax
JE>JE Personal answerNo, and it should be increased to fund more investment into renewable energy |
National Security › Mexican Drug Cartels
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but only for operations within our country’s borders; and, the U.S. should increase its efforts to collaborate with the Mexican government to better infiltrate and strike against these drug cartels. |
Domestic Policy › Political Advertising on Social Media
JE>JE Personal answerNo; however, any political advertising should be fact-checked prior to publishing, clearly show the individual(s) and organization(s) that funded the advertisement, be void of any explicitly slanderous or ad hominem statements, be pushed equally (regardless of party affiliation), and include an informational link to a non-partisan explanation of the pros, cons, and facts of any issue cited in the advertisement. |
the Economy › Offshore Banking
JE>JE Personal answerYes, as long as offshore income is reported |
Foreign Policy › India Arms
JE>JE Personal answerYes, India would become a very important ally; while we should focus on increasing diplomatic efforts to resolve conflicts peacefully, we would be foolish not to expand our allyship in response to Russia and China's growing pact. The U.S. should solidify India as an ally as soon as possible. |
Domestic Policy › Edward Snowden
JE>JE Personal answerYes, investigate the CIA and NSA directors instead |
the Economy › Federal Reserve
JE>JE Personal answerYes, we deserve to know who the bank gives money to |
the Environment › Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
JE>JE Personal answerYes, and require identical charging ports so all makes and models of electric vehicles can be charged at any station. |
Foreign Policy › NSA Surveillance
JE>JE Personal answerNo, spying on our allies severely damages our reputation abroad; surveillance should be left to international organizations like the UN. |
the Economy › Farm Subsidies
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but only small local farms instead of large corporations |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
JE>JE Personal answerNo, as it provided too much, too fast. The U.S. should slowly lessen travel and trade embargoes as a means of incentive. If Cuba makes improvements in human rights or democracy, the embargoes should lessen; if Cuba takes any steps backward, the embargoes should increase. However, the U.S. should collaborate with international organizations to improve the quality of life for Cuba's civilians, while also attempting reasonable diplomacy measures with the Cuban government. |
the Economy › Property Taxes
JE>JE Personal answerNo, that would harm low-income households who, proportionally, rent more and do not own property. |
Foreign Policy › Jerusalem
JE>JE Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Tariffs
JE>JE Personal answerTariffs are unfair to consumers if there aren't tax deduction programs in place to spread the funds to the people. Leaving the funds with the federal government NEVER an acceptable or efficient use of money. |
Education › School Truancy
JE>JE Personal answerNo, however, the qualifications for what constitutes illegal truancy should be limited, there should be a sizable increase in prevention and performance improvement programs as initial and secondary steps, and penalties should increase or decrease to fit the situation. For example, if a student has issues with their homelife, the school and government should collaborate to prevent truancy, improve the homelife environment through government-funded resources (family counseling), escalate to CPA services if needed, penalize parents who willfully do not pass the prescribed improvement programs, and/or penalize the student who willfully does not pass the prescribed improvement programs. However, penalties should remain focused on rehabilitation, with reasonable evidence that the penalty fits the situation and will promote improvement. |
the Economy › Pension Reform
JE>JE Personal answerNo, but I think it should be the workers' choice, therefore give incentives for private accounts and insure that the worker will not lose any money if he/she chooses to privatize his/her pension plan |
the Economy › Surcharge Ban
JE>JE Personal answerNo, as long as the costs are clearly communicated before purchases |
the Economy › Government Pensions
JE>JE Personal answerYes, adjust them yearly for cost of living |
the Environment › Corporate Subsidies
JE>JE Personal answerYes, as long as the local environment is not compromised, promises of new job creation for locals are made in good faith, and the tax revenue will eventually exceed the tax incentives. |
Foreign Policy › Saudi Arabia and Iran
JE>JE Personal answerNo, only if it is an immediate threat to our safety |
the Economy › Gig worker tax reporting
JE>JE Personal answerNo, unless the transaction is considered income, and the threshold should be much higher |
the Economy › State Ownership
JE>JE Personal answerYes, the government should receive equity for any financial aid they provide to companies. However, companies should be allowed and encouraged to buy out the government's share when they return to profitability. |
the Economy › Trans-Pacific Partnership
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but we should restrict the outsourcing of jobs. |
the Economy › Online Sales Tax
JE>JE Personal answerYes, exempting online retailers from sales taxes is not fair to traditional stores |
Foreign Policy › F-35
JE>JE Personal answerNo, but the scale of production should be greatly decreased. |
the Economy › Gig Workers
JE>JE Personal answerYes, if they work at least thirty hours per week |
the Economy › Decentralized Finance
JE>JE Personal answerYes, but I would prefer if the protocol was created and secured by a government agency instead of a decentralized protocol |
the Economy › Cryptocurrency
JE>JE Personal answerNo, but the government should create an official digital currency |
Domestic Policy › Air Force One
JE>JE Personal answerNo, not until the cost ($4B) is dramatically reduced |
the Economy › Stock Buybacks
JE>JE Personal answerNo, there is no evidence that firms that engage in buybacks reduce their investments |
