Immigration › Immigration
d>d Personal answerYes |
Education › Student Loans
d>d Personal answerYes, and increase government funding so every public college is tuition-free; reducing student debt and the cost of higher education will reduce poverty, because the poor will have a viable path to higher-paying jobs |
Social › Death Penalty
d>d Personal answerNo, too many people are innocently convicted |

Immigration › Border Security
d>d Personal answerYes, but we need a three-step plan: 1) Provide a path to citizenship for non-violent illegal immigrants currently in the country; 2) Reform our immigration system to encourage legal immigration, so that only violent criminals are illegally immigrating; 3) Introduce much stricter illegal immigration measures to keep those violent criminals from entering the country—by encouraging legal immigration, employers can no longer fill jobs by paying desperate immigrants low under-the-table wages, and illegal immigration becomes a much less complex issue to police |

d>d Personal answerNo, reduce waste in defense spending and close tax loopholes instead |

d>d Personal answerRegardless, we should create more social programs to address poverty |
the Economy › Labor Unions
d>d Personal answerHelp, but decrease their lobbying and campaign funding capabilities to reduce corruption |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
d>d Personal answerNo, increasing the capital gains tax will limit investment in our economy and hurt retirement plans that rely on capital gains; however, we do need to negotiate more trade deals that include a capital gains tax in their provisions, because it will help stop tax avoidance schemes such as the ones that came to light in the Panama Papers, which rely heavily on tax-free investments in shell companies in tax havens |

Foreign Policy › ISIS Ground Troops
d>d Personal answerYes, but only as a coordinated effort by the United Nations |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid

the Economy › Bitcoin
d>d Personal answerNo, and it has no intrinsic value |
the Economy › Trans-Pacific Partnership
d>d Personal answerNo; it does some good things, such as regulating labor, wage, and environmental standards, but it also gives corporations too much influence in these regulations and does not do enough to combat wealth inequality |
