Summary of political beliefs

[Horus]

Social Issues: Against partial-birth abortion, but other than that support a woman's right to choose. Pro Same-Sex Marriage. Against Affirmative Action in any way shape or form, it is nothing but reverse racism. 100% organized school prayer, the though pledge thing was a bit much. I think Marijuana should be legalized and taxed. If people want to be stupid, they have a right to be. Drinking age should be lowered. Prostitution should be legal in certain places, though they should be kept away from schools. I believe all child molesters should be kept in an isolation cell for the rest of their lives. I personally oppose internet filtering, but believe it should be left up the schools. Homeschooling annoys me and I think it really hurts kids, but if the parent and child both wish to do it, it isn't my business.

Economics: Pro free-trade. I have no real problem with partial privatization of social security so long as it is done slowly and carefully. I support universal healthcare as well, but that is probably my only liberal economic position. Not much else really, I don't care about economic issues as much as most people.  

Foreign Policy: I believe the Iraq war was a mistake. Usually, it depends on the situation.

You see, than in that case, the company would have been choosing a man because he was a man Therefore whoever it was, was putting put men over women. Sex shouldn't come into it at all. If the man is more fit for the job than the woman, the man should be hired and vice versa. Companies shouldn't make their decisions on the person's race or sexuality (whether it be favoring men or women), they should make them on the person's abilites to to their job.

Fiscally responsible socialist with a heavy libertarian streak on whatever the current "social issues" are.

[Horus]

Figured I'd update this after who knows how many years. In short an alt center leftist, equally globalist and isolationist.

Taxes: Increase taxes on those who make more than $400,000 a year. Slowly transition into a Georgist system.

Trade: Free trade unless you're Russia or China.

Minimum wage: 15 is okay I guess

Healthcare: Universal healthcare now.

Education: Tighten homeschooling restrictions big time, stop funding public schools off of property taxes. Standardized testing must exist but deemphasize it.

Infrastructure: Direct defense spending into this.

Transportation: Same

Unions: Support in theory but are somewhat anachronistic. Police unions in particular are noxious.

Abortion: Nominally pro choice but some of the activism on that end gets pretty bad.

LGBT rights: Obviously fully support

Gun control: Very pro-2A but open carry is cringe (should still be legal) and we need better background checks

Death penalty: Only for high treason.

Prostitution: Honestly don't care much, it's not going anywhere either way. Stop punishing people for it unless there's trafficking/non consensual stuff obviously

Euthanasia: Don't care

Reparations for slavery: They are needed, but the word "reparations" is so toxic they'll have to be called something else

Affirmative action: Usually oppose but there are exceptions.

Free speech: Is vital and should not be touched. Hate speech laws backfire on the protected groups.

Carbon tax: Support.

Paris Climate Accord: Rejoin.

Renewable energy: The future, let's do it.

Fracking ban: Support I guess?

Offshore drilling ban: Support.

Drugs: Legalize weed and psychedelics, decriminalize everything else and focus on treatment.

Voting rights: Universal and 18+, prisoners receive half a vote until release.

Defunding/abolishing the police: We must radically reform police departments and police culture.

CHAZ: Is very silly

Border wall: Huge waste of money.

Deportation: If they pay taxes and have no felonies, leave them be.

DACA: Support, overall a good thing.

Path to citizenship: Support, but it shouldn't be a cakewalk.

Voting rights: After you're a citizen.

Legal immigration: Should be reduced.

Family separation: Strongly oppose, keep families together.

Voter ID: Should be required for everyone born after 1970.

Compulsory voting: Oppose, in a place like America this would end up reducing turnout.

Term limits: Only for the president.

Electoral college: Eliminate and go to the national popular vote.

Russia: Isolate them.

China: Isolate them. Get closer with Japan.

North Korea: Whatever.

Middle East: Leave and never return.

Israel/Palestine: Not our business, stop treating Israel like the 51st state.

Guantanamo Bay: Should not exist.

NATO: We should continue to work closely with our NATO allies.

UN: Not opposed but it's a pretty useless org
