[sruchira]

LABELS
Social: Liberal
Economic: Left
Foreign Policy: Dove
Party: Democratic

SOCIAL ISSUES
Abortion: Pro-choice. Every school needs comprehensive sex ed. Fund Planned Parenthood.
Same-sex Marriage: Of course.
Drugs: End the War on Drugs; decriminalize all drugs. Legalize and tax soft drugs like marijuana and psilocybin.
Death Penalty: Oppose.
Gun Control: Support stricter regulations, background checks, Canadian-style.
Prostitution: Decriminalize.
Euthanasia: Support.
Immigration: Create a broad, expedient means of attaining citizenship for all immigrants. Keep families together. Pushing away migrants fleeing epidemic organized violence is profoundly un-American. No official language. Abolish ICE as well, probably.
Police and Prisons: Support anti-bias training, officer accountability. Oppose for-profit prisons.

ECONOMIC ISSUES
Minimum Wage: Raise and adjust with inflation.
Healthcare: Support a single-payer universal system.
Trade and Globalization: Support free trade.
Campaign Finance: Limit campaign donations. Oppose Citizens United decision.
Energy: Pro-nuclear. Pro-solar. Pro-wind. Anti-coal. Support 100% renewable energy.
Taxes: Progressive income tax.

FOREIGN POLICY ISSUES
Foreign Funding: Do not fund or arm countries with serious human rights violations.
Israel and Palestine: Two states, perhaps with UN zone.
Russia: Impose strict sanctions. Putin is a dangerous tyrant and his regime holds no regard for international law.

CLIMATE CHANGE: Perhaps the most serious issue out there. Aggressively conserve the environment and regulate industry and energy to reduce carbon emissions. Do not allow National Monuments to be shrunk except in extraordinary circumstances and do not allow "unintentional" taking of birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Pursue solutions in every way imaginable as quickly as possible.
