Weed: yes absolutely, medical and recreational.
Abortion: should be fully legal up to 20 weeks of pregnancy and beyond that legal only if the pregnancy endangers the life of the mother or if the fetus is deformed to the point it won’t survive the birth.
Gay people: It exists, it’s normal, they should be allowed to marry and adopt children, surrogacy should be outlawed though, for everyone in general.
Trans people: Also exists, trans individuals should not be harassed or threatened but I don’t support allowing minors to transition and don’t support trans individuals in elite sports competitions.
Environmental conservation: Very important for sure, but not more important than human lives. If a country can afford to do it without the quality of life of its people being affected then they should.
Criminal justice reform: Absolutely, harsher sentences for violent and sexual crimes and more lenience for minor offenses. Also putting more focus on rehabilitation where possible while also not taking it too far and turning the prison into a four star hotel.
Racial equality: For sure, but actual equality that is based on merit.
Borders: Should be secured, illegal crossings should be handled more harshly, especially in areas where it is common, as a deterrent.
Immigration: Should be minimized wherever possible, especially immigration of people from third world countries or countries whose cultures are incompatible with the culture of the host country. Assimilation should be closely monitored and enforced, mass immigration without assimilation is invasion.
Wealth inequality: Is an issue yes, but we have to be careful when dealing with it so we don’t overcorrect into communism territory. The ideal is still capitalism but with a few more limitations than currently exist, but any economic changes should be done extremely gradually.
Lobbying: Outlaw that shit, fully broken system.
Healthcare: A basic one should definitely exist, the entire American healthcare system requires deep reforms, it’s honestly embarrassing for a country that rich and advanced to have healthcare this abysmal.
In conclusion everything is nuanced in real life and anyone who can’t see the nuance is not looking at the full picture, regardless of the opinion they hold. If you can’t criticize your own side you’re brainwashed.
