I'll toss my hat in the ring. I would paint myself as fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I know, they are canned phrases and sometime in conflict with each other.
Reestablishing women's reproductive rights - because they are people.I'm not pro abortion and I'm not anti abortion. Yes, its your body and your right to chose to do with it as you see fit. When does the fetus or unborn child have rights? I can't answer that. Complicating factor is does the male have a right to the child? You can't force the woman to carry on a pregnancy, but where does the male's wishes and wants fit into the equation? Again, I have no answer to that.
Supreme Court didn't outlaw abortion, just said it's not up to the Federal Government to dictate. State's have to figure that out themselves.
I have no dog in the fight. I have two healthy and wonderful kids (teens which is sometimes a challenge). I don't know what my life would be without them. So for me abolition was not on the table but my thoughts an wants shouldn't be passed on to others.
Making businesses and 1%’s pay taxes like we do.Additional taxes are not going to solve any thing. Sure there are plenty of businesses and corporations that use the loopholes to get away with not paying taxes. That's been going on since... forever. Additional taxes on the "rich" is not going to settle the problem. They make the rules.
Question: How many folks in the three branches of government are millionaires.
Answer: All of them.
Yet they all preach to be there (both parties) to help the common folks. No they are not... they are there to get a cushy job and collect a nice salary, great pension, awesome benefits then be a political advisor or some consultant after they get voted out.
Marijuana legalization.This is not a solid platform to run on. Rather stupid, in my opinion. It's legal in many states. For those states that it is nol legal, you can still buy it just about anywhere. I don't use it but I'm not one that is against it. Just strike down the law and work on something more important.
Green power and usage initiativesI encourage sustainable energy but to date there is nothing that can replace the reliably of our fossil fuels. The technology isn't there yet. Will we get there? in my opinion - yes. But cutting off your nose to spite your face is not the way to go. We need fossil fuels to maintain our living until the other "green" energy can come online in a reliable fashion.
This topic reminds me of a discussion I had with a friend. He's not a super church or God person, but made me think Re: humans and energy. Some higher power has it all figured out for us on this topic.
In the beginning humans burned wood to release energy. Cook with, keep warm with it. God/nature made the trees and wood so humans could harvest it for easy energy to use.
Then we (humans) discovered coal and oil. It's the next step of energy evolution for harvesting energy on the planet. Solar, wind, and other alternative sources will come next in human evolution. Fossil fuels are just a life line from the higher power until we can find out next primary energy source.
Neither he or I were on mind altering drugs at the time.
