Summary of political beliefs

[un]

I usually align with three labels. The first one is a Democrat, as I believe being a member of the Democratic Party is an important part of influencing policy and persuing left wing goals in the United States, as its our best vehicle to do so right now. The second one is social democrat, as I believe in a capitalist system that uses significant amount of welfare and social safety net investment to make sure equality of opportunity is realized as much as possible. Finally, I would consider myself a progressive, as I believe a government that emphasizes liberal social reform is essential to any good government, whether that be anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people, reperations for black families that have been handicapped by lacking ability to generate long lasting generational wealth, etc.
