Would you vote for a candidate running on the preceding platform?

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Basically, list the hypothetical platform of a candidate and the next poster will say whether they would or wouldn't vote for that candidate. I'll go first:

Pro-life, anti-LGBT rights, strongly supports raising taxes on the rich and a very large, European-style welfare state, generally hawkish on foreign policy but not quite a Neo-Con, strongly favors reducing both legal and illegal immigration, is pro-gun control, supports doing anything possible to fight climate change, and believes that we need a balanced budget amendment.

[Goldwater]

No, that sounds pretty gross.

What about someone that is pro-choice, pro-LGBT rights, supports flat taxes and spending cuts, generally cautious on foreign policy but not quite non-interventionist, supports a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and bringing in more refugees, is pro-gun rights, skeptical towards environmental policies, and opposes both privatizing social security and raising the retirement age?

[Dr. MB]

Wouldn't be my first choice but maybe, depending on the alternative.

Pro-life, pro-gun, anti-surveillance, pro-criminal justice reform, pro-marijuana legalization, extremely non-interventionist, supports universal healthcare, supports amnesty for illegal immigrants, supports universal basic income.

[Not a Partisan Hack ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)]

YES YES YES! That's perfect!

Pro gay marriage, Pro-life, pro-gun, Non-interventionist(only supports use of army if nation is attacked). In favor of regulations. Increase in taxes. Increases mental health funds. Reduce licencing. cautious look on immigration and continue the current path. support medicare for all. abolish the NSA and repeal the PATRIOT act. enforce anti-trust laws more stringently.

[Sirius_]

Maybe, depending on the candidates. Not horrendous but I wouldn't vote for them in a democratic primary.

Anti-LGBT, Pro-Choice, Pro-Capital Punishment, Interventionist, economic centrist. Supports stricter drug law enforcement. Supports progressive tax rates based on wealth and wants to raise taxes on the wealthy. Pro-carbon tax. Wants to lower corporate taxes. Believes that it is the duty of America to take down authoritarian regimes. Supports NSA surveillance and the patriot act. Opposes gay marriage but not criminalizing gay relations. Wants to expand refugee programs and give illegal immigrants the opportunity to become citizens without being deported.
