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

[Dr. MB]

Seems kinda risky. I'll pass.

I'm a 96 year old, college educated, Hispanic woman from ME.

I'm a fascist Democrat who bought a gun when Obama was elected, walks up to police and asks 'am I being detained?', and supports building more private prisons.

I didn't vote in 2016.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

More private prisons is a non-starter. I wouldn't vote unless the Republican was QAnon-tier.

I'm an independent (or Bernie Sanders-style unenrolled-running-as-Democrat) candidate for Governor of Massachusetts who wants to throw up tons of public housing, has promised mass arrests of the people responsible for mismanaging the Holyoke Soldiers' Home in the earliest stages of the pandemic, supports a strengthened mask mandate but not a second lockdown, opposes a New York-style abortion law, proposes a mandatory tuition reduction at public universities and wants to pay for it by dramatically reducing administrator salaries and enacting a moratorium on new construction on campus, and has openly contemplated moving certain organs of the state government to Worcester and Springfield.

[SevenEleven]

I would be feeling pretty "meh" about it, but most likely.

A progressive who promises a cultural revolution, repealing and replacing American traditions, supports a "civilian defense squad", abolition of all political parties, an end to social media, and wants to send opponents to re-education centers.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

Not in a million years (patriot despite being unafraid to criticize my country, sane).

A "movement pro-choice" candidate who supports FairTax.

[S019]

Dismantling the IRS is some Tea Party level nonsense so no



A candidate who supports rejoining TPP

The scissors sword of false economy true justice


S019's platform is too vague. Pass.

Would you vote for a pro-life Democrat with the positions of Joe Biden on all other things against a pro-choice Republican with the positions of (2012) Mitt Romney on all other things?

[It’s so Joever]

This would be my dream candidate. I would vote for him in both the primaries and the general. Also Romney is still scum.





Pro-Abortion (not pro-choice)
Pro-Universal Guns
Fiscally Conservative
Pro-free trade
Pro-Drugs (every type)
Pro-death penalty
Anti-healthcare (any healthcare)
Pro-Climate change (wants to increase spending on the war against Earth)

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

Based.
More seriously, I would vote for pretty much anything over that.
Next: someone with the platform of 1992 Ross Perot?

[Ferguson97]

Hard pass on the Perot platform.

Platform: Trump's social policy + Hillary's foreign policy + Sander's immigration/trade plan + Romney's fiscal policy

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Most likely yes, depending on the opponent

Roy Moore's social policy, Bernie Sanders's tax/fiscal policy, Justin Amash's regulatory policy, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's immigration policy, and Dick Cheney's foreign policy.  Plus a ban on mask wearing (not a ban on mask mandates, but an actual ban on mask wearing).

[Left Wing]

Absolutely not. Sound like a nightmare as president.




Candidate running on school choice, an LGBT-friendly version of "family values" and is pro-life. Believes in modest tax cuts in general but not during a recession.

[KaiserDave]

I'm sure there'd be better alternatives. Pass.

Economically leftist, with a focus on regulation and taxation, socially moderate, opposed to most abortions, supports a border wall with legal immigration made easier

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

Depends on the details but I am quite open to such a candidacy.

Would you vote for someone who is economically a social democrat, wants to liberalize a lot immigration policies, is mildly non-interventionist, and categorically dodges all questions about muh social issues?

[Ferguson97]

Probably not. Foreign policy and social policy are too important to me to leave up to chance.

Would you vote for a candidate who wants to replace all social programs with a UBI of $2,000 a month?

[NewYorkExpress]

I'm not an Andrew Yang fan, so no.

Would you vote for a candidate who wants to repeal the second amendment, repeal the federal income tax, defund the police and Pentagon, erect a wall on the Mexican and Canadian borders to keep out illegal immigrants, provide amnesty to illegal immigrants already here, dramatically increase legal immigration and make denying global climate change a criminal offense?

This is a toughie, as I really want some of these (amnesty, increase immigration, defund the police) and I really don't want some others (all the totalitarian sh**t)... I think I would vote for this candidate only if they were clear that they were willing to moderate at least a little once they got into office.

Next person: Socially extremely conservative (anti-gay, death penalty for abortion) but fiscally super liberal (equality redistribution, heavy taxes on the rich, government control of markets)

[they don't love you like i love you]

No.

Someone who openly supported a theocracy with Christianity as the state religion but a liberal form of Christianity. So all sorts of left-wing redistributionist policies, promotion of feminism, LGBT rights and protevtions and a liberal criminal justice system and no death penalty but also state sponsored proselytization to non-Christians.

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

Uuuh BRTD-style theocracy. Answer: no because I would only support a Catholic one.*

Would you vote for a presidential candidate who wants to provide amnesty to all irregular immigrants, legalize all drugs, making abortion legal with no restrictions at any stage, substitute all welfare with a universal basic income program, and has no effing clue otherwise?
Ah this candidate also actively embraces "identity politics".


*Serious answer: I don't want the establishment of a state religion, damn

[Ferguson97]

Leaning no because I don't think UBI is a good substitute for welfare. Everything else rocks though.

Would you vote for a presidential candidate who wants to establish ranked choice voting, abolish the electoral college, allow all felons who complete their sentence to vote, and automatically register all voters at 18?
