"Hard left" lol. You're not a moderate, you're well to the right. I'm with you on ranked choice or a different sane system, tho.
Nope. I'm a RINO. For LGBTQ+ and women's reproductive rights. For gender equality. For religious freedom without interference from the government. For supporting our kids' education and well-being. For reasonable gun control measures that involve training and background checks if that cost is borne by the state. Against banning of weapons or special taxes on guns/ammo. For involuntary psychiatric treatment (commitments). I want single-payer healthcare. I want a vetted method of entry for immigrants that doesn't take years to complete. I want non-violent convicted criminals to have the option to be surgically "tagged", then allowed to continue their lives knowing that they're being monitored. Maybe then they can repay their victims. I want to abolish the death penalty. I want to set fines as a percentage of a person's wealth. I want all non-lethal drugs to be legalized, including prescription drugs. I want the government to provide an interest-free home loan for anyone who can show they can afford the property, currently owns no other property, and will use it as their primary residence. I want a free path to a self-study college degree, but I oppose paying for others to obtain degrees without some form of payback.
