Only questions that I didn't answer 'strongly support/oppose' were the ones about animal rights/the environment (I believe in animal rights and protecting the environment, but I also believe that the interest of human beings comes first. I don't think there's really a big problem in believing both or balancing both), and the United Nations question, which I answered 'No opinion' on because none of those positions represents how I feel (the UN is a tool of American imperial interests and should be replaced by a socialist world government ).


Individual Rights
Abortion is a women's unrestricted right - Strongly Support
Legally require hiring of women and minorities - Strongly Support (although more of in the interest of anti-racism than in the interest of diversifying the ruling class, which I could give less of a sh#t about)
Comfortable with same-sex marriage - Strongly support
Keep God in the public sphere - Strongly oppose
"No rights" to clean air and water - Oppose
More enforcement of the right to vote - Strongly Support

Domestic Issues
Stricter punishment (death penalty) reduces crime - Strongly Oppose
Absolute right to gun ownership - Strongly Support
Expand Obamacare - Strongly support (although Obamacare will never ever result in single-payer and is in effect a stumbling block to it. I'm voting here as the author of the quiz would want someone in favor of universal healthcare to vote)
Vouchers for school choice - Strongly Oppose
Prioritize green energy - Strongly support
Never legalize marijuana - Strongly Oppose

Economic Issues
Stimulus better than market-led recovery - Strongly support
Higher taxes on the wealthy - Strongly support
Pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens - Strongly Support
Privatize social security -  Strongly Oppose

Defense/International Issues
Support and expand free trade - Strongly oppose
Expand the military - Strongly oppose
Maintain U.S. sovereignty from UN - No Opinion (see above)
Stay out of Iran - Strongly Support

That's all I got, from my averages.

Apparently Gore is the closest of past Presidential candidates, Clinton is the best [somehow ] of 2016, Green is my best [but I vote tactically to stop the GOP anyway], and surprisingly have more in common with Matt Bevin than McConnell.

And only by 10% more supportive of Hagan than Tillis socially.
