I’m a second generation immigrant from a Christian minority country. I don’t allow my personal opinions to influence good policy:
I am against marijuana legalization, but I would absolutely use pardon power to correct the unjust policing and sentencing that causes the racial disparity between the legal system
-I am against abortion. I am also male, so I will never get one. I understand that I am not all knowing or all seeing. There are circumstances I could have missed and therefore it needs to stay legal for those purposes.
-I don’t think the country is ready for electric vehicles. The infrastructure simply isn’t there to support it and the current administration is putting the cart before the horse.
-I don’t think debt forgiveness for student loans (or PPP for that matter) is a good idea. More education for students to not sign these contracts is needed. I would remove the interest or allow the interest to be the same as inflation to account for the lack of education but I wouldn’t forgive it altogether.
-I believe that strong antitrust laws are needed to ensure competition and laws for the public good must be enforced. However, I believe that otherwise the free market will take care of itself. In other words, there’s no such thing as too big to fail.
Also as a big caveat, I was a conservative in a very liberal city. That may also be why we have a lot of matching values.
I am a far-left progressive and hold every value you listed. Can you tell us why you believe you are conservative and not progressive?
