Thoughts on iSidewith

So with 3 days remaining until this circus that we call the 2016 elections is over with I decided to revisit iSidewith just to see if it would say anything different.

If you clicked the link you can see that the site puts me as having most siding with Jill Stein and next down is Hillary. I guess I tend to be a little more liberal at least when it comes to social issues. This is why I want Gary Johnson to be president so much we would get a nice blend of Liberal and Conservative.

Affirmative Action

From my thinking, we shouldn’t have Affirmative Action as I would think that it in itself is a form of racism isn’t it and even positive racism is not good. Just let schools let the people they want in and not have to have a token minority person in just to appease certain groups.

Gun Control

This is a hotly debated topic and I don’t like to go too much into it as topics like this can ruin friendships or families. However, I do believe that we should have some stronger gun control not to “take away” guns from fine upstanding US citizens just make a little harder for mentally unstable people to get ahold of them. One thing I do agree with on is to make it illegal to buy or sell guns like AK 47’s as nobody is going to need those for hunting.

Drug Policy

Legalizing drugs is just a simple yes from me as people should have final say on what they put into their bodies. If somebody who is of age and is a consenting adult in the privacy of their own home or someone else’s home they should be able to partake in Cannabis or some other drug. Just treat it like we treat alcohol, basically.

Mandatory Vaccinations

I did say yes but the reason is that the vaccinations that we are talking about have no real evidence to cause any kind of mental retardation in children and they help protect against diseases like Polio that have all but been wiped out thanks to the vaccines.

Conclusion

All-in-all my views may change later in life or some more questions might be added and the website isn’t that accurate since it depends on the person getting on and changing stances. It is a good way to get a quick overview or form some kind of question to ask of you before going into vote. So to sign off this post I’ll leave with an image.
