I largely identify with the Democratic Party on issues. On economic policy, I believe that we should direct our investments to the middle class and that we should tax the rich. I support raising the minimum wage, mostly support Medicare for All, and oppose a Universal Basic Income. I support free public college and preschool, and I think that student loan cancellation is a weak short-term fix to the problem, but I don't really oppose it. I support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Socially, I mostly support abortion rights and strongly support LGBTQ+ rights. On criminal justice policy, I believe that we need an evidence-based approach to do whatever ruins the fewest lives possible. Therefore, I support policies where there is evidence that they work, and oppose those where there isn't. For example, I oppose capital punishment and ending cash bail, but support providing resources to social workers instead of police when possible. The most important issue to me is climate change, and I support any and all action that we can take on it.
I believe that Joe Biden is the best President since at least LBJ, and his impressive record speaks for itself. The Inflation Reduction Act is a massive piece of legislation that will be crucial in the fight against climate change, and his major wins economically (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and CHIPS Act) and socially (Respect for Marriage Act and more), will be felt for years to come. Additionally, he has garnered some crucial short-term successes as well.

I recognize that we may have disagreements on these issues, but I believe that responsible political dialogue is critical to a functioning democracy, so I look forward to being friends with and having respectful discussions with everyone. While I spend a large portion of my time on politics and I believe that everyone has political opinions of some sort, I also believe in not inserting political arguments into unnecessary places.
