Why do you deserve to win?

John Smith 07-Mar-20 12:30 AM

Because I have shown time and again to be a force for good in Dixie, I've authored, sponsored and passed many great bills to help Dixie and the rest of the nation. Examples include: The Green Transportation Act, the Dixie Gambling Legalization Act, the Dixie Lottery Act, and much more.

To all candidates, would you support a State ban on CATGIRLs in your state?

Ben 07-Mar-20 09:39 AM

To all three of the candidates: would you support a constitutional amendment repealing the Roe v. Wade decision?

John Smith 07-Mar-20 10:36 AM

I would support a CATGIRL ban at any level

Also a constitutional amendment banning abortion would be amazing step for this country, the constitution isn't very clear on abortion, leading to misinformed decisions like Roe v. Wade, but an amendment would put the matter to rest for good

Ben 07-Mar-20 10:38 AM

Thank you.

Trash 07-Mar-20 10:52 AM

@John Smith why would you support a CATGIRL ban?

John Smith 07-Mar-20 10:55 AM

The ethical implications of human-animal hybrids along with the scientific risk are too much to allow it at this time, maybe with more theoretical research and further understanding of human and animal bodies we can allow this to occur

Ben 07-Mar-20 04:13 PM

@John Smith What do you think of the Armenian Genocide and the Turkish government’s denial of it?

John Smith 07-Mar-20 04:18 PM

If you've noticed my asking about it in other debates, I believe that Genocide and horrible crimes should never be swept under the rug or left unpunished. I proudly supported the Second Tiawan Relations Act to recognize Chinese atrocities, along with the Holodomor Recognition Act. Turkey has gotten away with this for too long, we can't let money or politics get in the way of bringing these terrible acts into the open. I do understand America's past isn't entirely in this sense, but in those instances, we have since owned up to our mistakes and done our best to make amendments. But this has not happened for the Armenians. I plan to propose an act to fully recognize the Armenian Genocide and sanction the Republic of Turkey until they do so as well in the next congressional session.

Editech 07-Mar-20 04:25 PM

I would @Ben .

Ben 07-Mar-20 04:25 PM

Thank you.

Editech 07-Mar-20 04:26 PM

You're welcome

Any more questions?

Ben 07-Mar-20 04:27 PM

What do you think of abortion’s legality?

Editech 07-Mar-20 04:27 PM

I think it should only be legal in case of rape, incest, or harm to the mother

I'm very pro-life

rat randy 07-Mar-20 04:56 PM

What is your opinion on the distribution of narcotics across the southern border, and what do you plan to do about it?

John Smith 07-Mar-20 05:06 PM

The illegal drugs pouring across our borders are a major contributor to the drug crisis in America. Going after small time dealers and users will accomplish nothing. We need to hit the drugs at the source: the cartels. I would like to cover the border in a barrier, which will prevent traffickers from attempting to smuggle them across, and ensuring CBP has all the funding it needs to cover our checkpoints and the rest of the border.

Trash 07-Mar-20 05:37 PM

To Smith: what have you done to help the proletariat? To the other candidates: what would you do to help the proletariat if elected?

John Smith 07-Mar-20 05:42 PM

I have passed bills like the Green Transportation Act, which gives tax breaks to the common man for using green transportation, I legalized gambling in Dixie, a fun hobby and source of profit for some people, and even a lottery, which gives anyone a chance to win a lot of money

Editech 07-Mar-20 05:48 PM

I plan to stop it. We need to have more funding for Border Patrol, and potentially even a wall.

The first thing we can do, is by balancing our budget. We are severely in debt, and we need to start reducing that. We can also lower taxes on the middle and lower class through a tax credit.

Trash 07-Mar-20 05:56 PM

Why would you support a wall?

Also why is immigration a real issue for this country?

Editech 07-Mar-20 06:02 PM

In my opinion it's the best way to stop illegal immigration. Because illegal immigrants keep coming here and getting free healthcare and benefits. We need to put a stop to this. They also make it unfair to people who actually go through the process of immigrating here legally.

rat randy 08-Mar-20 09:29 AM

Do you plan on doing anything about Daylight savings, or is it alright to you as it stands?

John Smith 08-Mar-20 12:22 PM

There is no point for it anymore, I would have no problem abolishing it

rat randy 08-Mar-20 04:53 PM

@Editech What is your opinion on the words and phrases Cabin has been using, and do you endorse this way of trying to win?

Editech 08-Mar-20 04:54 PM

I think it's immature, and I don't endorse this way of trying to win. The best way to win is fair and square.

April 08-Mar-20 05:02 PM

Question for all Candidates: Do you support implementing a Universal Basic Income nationwide?

Editech 08-Mar-20 05:07 PM

no

John Smith 08-Mar-20 05:16 PM

No

Editech 08-Mar-20 06:10 PM

But if a State wants to do it, I have no problem with them doing it
