My Platform
My platform is divided into international relations and domestic policy. I belive very strongly in a large government so I would like taxes proportional to income. Personal freedoms would be emphasized so gay marriage, abortion and stem cell research laws would be as liberal as possible. Marijuana would be legal and taxed similar to cigarettes. Other “hard’ drugs would remain illegal, but the users would be treated for their addictions versus sent to prison. Internationally I will focus heavily on diplomacy and restricted free trade versus capitalism and warmongering. I would also like to end all embargos and open dialogue with nations that wish to harm us. All war and foreign aid would be approved by the United Nations.

What Political Party would you like to be in?
What Political Party would you like to be in?
The Green Party. I really only side with democrats because they are one of the two titans perpetually locked in a battle for the fate of our country. The green party is like my favorite democratic values to the extreme. They talked about the environment before it was a popular, and have always been supporters of gay rights. They are one of the few parties where you don’t have to support organized religion to become a prominent fixture. To be a successful democrat you still have to be “middle of the road” on a lot of issues that I am very liberal on. The green party is not afraid to speak their minds because they know that they have no chance of winning any significant political seats. It’s a shame that my favorite party will never mean anything beyond a few unimportant local races.
