  1. You really just need discord for registration after that you can do everything through the browser
  2. The current Republican establishment are Nick Fuentes fanboys.
  3. Jeffery Epstein didn’t kill himself, also Epstein was probably used by Mossad or another intel agency to get blackmail on prominent Americans.
  4. Uncle Ted Kaczynski Marianne Williamson
  5. Can I show up as both a Republican and independent?
  6. I may have messed up the scores, kind of compiled them quickly.
  7. Abortion C Allow careful legislation to further regulate late-term and partial-birth abortions. Keep Planned Parenthood. Business Policy CL: The business of America is business. But we need unions and laws to protect workers. China R America First! Use tariffs against China to get better trade deals, even if it risks a Trade War. Confront their territorial aggression in the South China Sea. Corruption C Washington, D.C. is corrupt. We need better oversight and reform. COVID-19 R: COVID-19 is something that can be solved with common sense. End the lockdown immediately and encourage social distancing. Masks don't do much and might make things worse. Economic health = health. Open all schools now. Sweden approached it the right way. Cuba CL: It is an unfortunate reality that Communism is here to stay. The sanctions are hurting the people of Cuban, more than they hurt the government, so we should lift them. D.C. Statehood CR: D.C should be absorbed by Virginia or Maryland if they desire representation in Congress. We need a constitutional amendment on this matter. Defense Spending L The armed forces are using too great a percentage of the budget. Cut budget while innovating. Economy L A recession is on the way, regular people are already hurting in this economy, while the 1% gets wealthier. Education CL Make teachers accountable with performance based pay. Increase funding. Remain open to options such as public charter schools. Reduce university tuition costs. Electoral Reform CL Expand the House in order to make both the Congress and the Electoral College more proportional. Overturn Citizens United which gives too much power to corporations. Automatic voter registration. Election Day a national holiday. Fight discriminatory voter ID laws. Statehood for Washington, D.C. Voter-verified paper audit trail. Energy C Balance renewables and fossil fuels, with the aim to move to energy sources that emit less CO2. Careful, limited expansion of off-shore drilling. Environment C Balance environmental policies with sound economic policies. Free Trade CL Protect workers over profits. Free trade must include labour and environmental conditions. Government Spending C Balance lowering the deficit with other priorities. No long-term deficits. Gun Control CR We should be wary of gun control. Increase security and training. The Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms. Healthcare CL Keep Obamacare - it is much better than what came before it. Consider expanding public coverage. Homeland Security L: If we were more respectful to other nations, they would respect us in return. Reduce security measures and funding. Dramatically decrease electronic surveillance of American citizens. Always require a warrant. Immigration R Trump is right - build a wall, deport gang members, tougher on illegal immigration, merit-based legal immigration. Israel Center: Support Israel's right to exist. Provide foreign aid and develop contingency plans to support them militarily. Keystone Pipeline CR: Get the Keystone Pipeline built as it will create jobs. Support in-progress pipeline projects. LGBT Rights C Defend all existing federal protections for LGBT. Prefer any future laws on the subject to be made by the states. Military Intervention CL For humanitarian causes or if we are attacked. Minimum Wage CR Be skeptical of minimum wage legislation, as it tends to cause the elimination of low-wage positions and reduce upward mobility. Native Americans Center: Native Americans didn't deserve to be treated like they were. That said, is this really the most important issue in the modern age? Native Hawaiians Center: The Akaka Bill must be considered by Congress in order to make right by our past. North Korea L We should deal with North Korea through the United Nations, and consider war only if we are attacked. Offshore Drilling C I just want oil prices low, keep existing oil rigs in place. Partisanship C The hyper-partisanship and failure of conversation this country is experiencing is very bad for the overall health of our nation, and we should try to remedy the issue as soon as possible! Puerto Rico CR The people of Puerto Rico should stay as a Commonwealth at least until there is a proper Referendum unlike previous years. Racial Injustice CR We must not demonize our brave police force or the Black community when talking about race in this country. We need to approach this issue with a mind of helping prevent racism on the personal level, without over-reaching government. Role of Government CL Government is not inherently a good or bad thing, but plays an important role in society. L Russia FL: Is Russia a threat to world peace? No, America is if we continue to use Russia as justification to intervene in countries, we have no reason to be in. Let the UN deal with it, and leave the scene. Russian Interference C There was certainly Russian interference in 2016, but it wasn't a major factor, and the Special Counsel established there isn't good evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia. Careful House oversight is fine. Russia is primarily a foe, not ally. Trump likes dictators like Putin too much, but he's not controlled by them. Social Security CR Let workers privately invest some of their retirement payments. Student Debt CR Remove current forgiveness policies, but consider national service or other work-based alternatives as a way for forgiving loans. Supreme Court Nominations R Replace existing justices with reliably conservative justices. The Constitution should be read according to original intent. Consider amendment to set Supreme Court at 9 Justices. Tax Rates CL Raise taxes on the rich, reduce taxes on the middle class, and reform the corporate tax system (eliminate loopholes). Trump Support CR Trump tends to get things right, but often goes overboard. Careful support of the Trump agenda. Unions CL Labor Unions provide job security and allow workers to collectively better themselves and be paid a fair wage. Venezuela L Lift sanctions on Venezuela immediately as they are hurting the people of Venezuela not Maduro. Wall Street CL Reinstate Glass-Steagle. War on Drugs L Legalize soft drugs, and consider the legalization of other drugs - decrease spending on Drug War. War on Terrorism C We must focus on terrorist cells, not Syria. Civil liberties are important.
  8. This sounds awesome. I will have to fill this out when I get home
  9. Illinois is a shit hole. Very hard to think of anything positive occurring in the state. Our pension crisis is the elephant in the room that every governor ignores. People are leaving in masses. No industry, and higher education institutions have huge declining enrollments.
  10. I’m from downstate, where are you from?
  11. Southern Illinois is becoming heavily Republican at all levels (state, county, federal). Personally, I don’t see Illinois flipping anytime. Cook county is losing population, but so is downstate.
  12. Clinton>Trump>Obama>Biden>W Not rating Biden, preliminarily would put him in between Obama & W.
  13. Does anyone have any political fiction recommendations?
  14. I propose that we increase the size of the House of Representatives to 999 seats.
  15. I vaguely remember the 2004 election, I remember my father being too nervous to watch the results come in. I was born in 1999. The first historical event that I remember is probably Hurricane Katrina. I remember watching the news coverage of the disaster
  16. I'm going to have to drop out, I don't have the time right now to dedicate to the rp.
