You believe in promoting social equality, environmental sustainability, and economic justice for all members of society.
Left-wing political ideology is a broad spectrum of political philosophies that prioritize social equality and aim to diminish the impact of social hierarchies. It is often associated with ideas of social justice, labor rights, welfare state, and civil liberties. Left-wing politics typically involve a concern for those in society whom its adherents perceive as disadvantaged relative to others, and a belief that there are unjustified inequalities that need to be reduced or abolished.
The term "left-wing" has its origins in the French Revolution of the 18th century, when liber…

How could climate change activism be made more appealing to people indifferent to the issue?
@9JSJ27MLibertarian1yr1Y
I wish that it were, but most people are stuck in their ways and the only way to show them how important it is, is to show them the dangers of it but they often don't belive it.
@9JS994CIndependent1yr1Y
Many people who don't agree with climate change are right leaning. Many of them include farmers. They and their families could lose their livelyhoods if their crops are unable to adapt to the new world.
@9JSYFFP1yr1Y
show them the benefits of taking better care of the earth
@9JS97QL1yr1Y
Climate change is an issue that can be shared with more analogies and comparisons to common life and well-being.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you witnessed a peaceful protest for an issue you’re indifferent about, would it spark your interest and why?
@9KXY5HP1yr1Y
it would spark my interest at first seeing as the protest was peaceful, but I wouldn't just immediately side with these people, I would research what they're protesting first.
social justice and human rights would be left wing concerns
@9KXXT4Z1yr1Y
No it would not spark my interest because of the fact they might be peacefully protesting but that does not mean what they are protesting about is right.
@9KXWZ4R1yr1Y
they are evil and shouldn't even be in the white house
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you balance your personal needs with the needs of the greater community in decision-making?
@9L2QSDL1yr1Y
I would balance my personal needs to the greater community by sharing my thoughts and ideas with organizations that can make a difference.
@9L4ZKY51yr1Y
My personal needs and the needs of my community are either interdependent, or I am not in that community.
I believe that as long as a person is capable of changing to environment to make a better place, that would be a much more effecient way of identifying and providing a solution to a social problem.
@9L2NLBF1yr1Y
My family needs come above all else. they are my ultimate priority and responsibility. However the Non-agression principal should be of upmost imnportance
@9L2NPKD1yr1Y
To balance this a plan or selected choice should be used to help a community.
@9L2NSSSRepublican1yr1Y
I believe you cannot help others until you help yourself. You cannot possibly provide for another individual in need when you are having problems of your own.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you believe that everyone should have equal access to education, healthcare, and housing - why or why not?
@9HL3RKY1yr1Y
Yes. I believe it is a right of everyone to be taken care of and to learn.
@9HL3RY21yr1Y
no, i dont belive so because people have worked differently and it pays off for example someone who is a doctor should get the same housing as someone who works a 15 hourly paid job,
@9HL3SYC1yr1Y
I do because if you live in this country and pay taxes and work as others do, you should be allowed the same opportunities as others.
@9HL44BF1yr1Y
Yes because even though some people aren't U.S citizens doesn't mean that they don't live in the U.S now , and some people who aren't come to the U.S to seek things like education and housing and health care to give their children a better life then they were able to have.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would your daily routine change if public services like healthcare and education were significantly improved?
@9JJDFS71yr1Y
it would make access easier and cost less for health care and education
@9JJCT241yr1Y
If I could go to the hospital without going into debt, or go to school without hearing 17 gunshots, it would be great.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you think protecting the environment should be a priority, even if it means higher costs for consumers?
@9KW3Y5H1yr1Y
Yes because the Earth is in danger and if people have to suffer financially for us to fix it, I think that's okay because we all need the planet and it is not only ours to destroy.
@9KV83KC1yr1Y
Yes protecting should be a prority to keep the us safe
@9KV86BP1yr1Y
I think the environment is important on a corporate and individual level
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What's one thing you wish older generations understood about the world from your perspective?
@9HYDCR51yr1Y
I wish older generations would be able to understand how change is a good thing and that no change won't take us anywhere and greatly affect the future of the country in the long run.
@9HYWHZN1yr1Y
"Change" is not inherently good. America becoming a fascist dictatorship would be "change." And it is much easier to change things for the worse than for the better. We must be open to change, but that must be tempered with prudence. Chesterton's Fence applies.
@9HYHNLY1yr1Y
The furthering development of new technology has drastically changed the world we live in. Changes in the world require new solutions and innovations.
@9HYHLT21yr1Y
I feel like the change in the present right now could effect the future to this economy either on military or money or preduction.
@9HYBLS5 1yr1Y
i wish they understood how younger people feel, instead of getting mad at younger people
@9HZ4RQ9Republican1yr1Y
I believe older people do know how younger people feel because they have been through life. They are just trying to get younger people ready for reality
@9HYHZ6B1yr1Y
i think that some generations dont like younger people simply because we are doing things differently, they also hate on the younger generations for going things the easier way
@9HYDZG8Republican1yr1Y
Times are changing, advancements are being made in every way and it’s the next step for this country.
@9HYDVNH1yr1Y
driving fairly such as not speeding using the road signs correctly etc
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How important do you believe diversity and inclusion initiatives are in schools and workplaces, and why?
@9HL4B991yr1Y
There are 2 genders/sex. Rest are mental illnesses. I am not homophobic, and I will not hate/deny anyone's representation, but I do not support them.
@9HKV6TR1yr1Y
I find it of paramount importance. As much progress as we have made, we can’t delude ourselves into thinking that progress is done.
@9HL48P81yr1Y
Diversity imitative are a smokescreen for the very opposite: the homogenization of education, witnessed by the abhorrent Congressional testimony given by the high priestesses of PennU and Harvard. We should focus on creating a grammar school-like meritocracy which selects the brightest individuals from even the lowest socio-economic based on skill and promise, whose consideration is not diversity of race or background, but truly diversity of thought. This is the surest form of mobility possible.
I don't care what other people decide to do with their lives and bodies if it doesn't hurt me I don't care.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can you think of a moment in history where a left-wing movement significantly changed the course of a country, and do you see its relevance today?
@9HYFQH71yr1Y
The civil right movement and the women’s liberation movement, to name the first couple examples that come to mind.
@9HYFVY41yr1Y
That one time when people were protesting black lives matter and people would not stop crying about the protests
The civil war Is a good example of a "left wing" that changed our history.
The enforcing of mask and vaccine brought u a separation between Democrats and Republicans. I do see relevance today because it brings up the conversation of "My body, my choice".
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you could design a smartphone app to solve a social issue, which issue would it tackle and what would the app do?
@9HYDHM71yr1Y
i would design an app for parents to install on their kids phones and the app will disable the use or download of apps like Instagram, snapchat, tik tok, X because kids see to much. in the past week I've seen 4 groups of toddlers singing sexyy red songs this needs to stopp
@9HYD7V6 1yr1Y
I would design an app that makes it very easy to learn things a father may have taught you such as how to grill, tie a tie, and have a positive male influence and role model, as the rate of single motherhood in the country is going up.
@9HYCWKG1yr1Y
If i had to design an app to solve social issue the app would be called solving social issue what it do is solve social issues it would tackle social issues
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does it feel when you try to discuss climate change with someone who has a very different opinion?
@9HW2FXT 1yr1Y
It is very difficult if someone from an opposing view cannot listen to my opinion, but I understand that everyone thinks differently. My only issues with some of the people who have a different view is they cannot have an intelligent discussion about it. I have no problem with someone disagreeing with me, but I do have an issue if they can't sit and discuss it, and at the end of the day, we both understand that though we might not agree with each other we can respect each other.
@9HVYR27Republican 1yr1Y
I feel that the U.S should do everything in its power to help climate change so if someone was not agreeing with me it would be hard to talk to the,
It tends to be difficult as they try and back up their opinion and not really listen to what I’m saying.
@9HW2Y64 1yr1Y
People who are ignorant and hate to look at the facts of the other side because they are so stuck up in their ideas. For example, you can feel it getting physically hotter, 2023 was the hottest year to date we have ever lived through, imagine this summer, it'll be hell on earth
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you could create a new law focused on environmental protection, what would it be and why?
I would say free vaccines for EVERY type of disease so that they can be well in the future and forever be okay to live their lives.
@9HL42HM1yr1Y
Increase business regulation and government mandated help with dealing with pollution.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In your observation, how do societal views on gender roles and equality continue to evolve, and what impacts have you seen?
@9HL4R2Y1yr1Y
I dont think that it matters and that we should indoctrinate and force bad opinions but rather educate them on it
I would say that nobody should enforce their gender or identity to other people. for example, if you are a vegan, you shouldn't force your ideas to other people.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you think your life would change if there were more public spaces like parks and libraries in your neighborhood?
i could go walk anywhere if there were more places in my neighborhood
@9HY96RY1yr1Y
I would go to more parks, other than that my life would not change much.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If a friend from a different socioeconomic background shared their life experience with you, what do you think you would learn?
@9HL3P691yr1Y
The only way I could do that was if you were going to.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What kind of world do you want to live in 20 years, and what steps do you think are necessary to get there?
@9HYG7V31yr1Y
A world with a clean environment and a healthy earth with less violence.
@9HYG3T8Independent1yr1Y
I would like to see a world where all people are equal. I would like to see more nuclear energy and nuclear fuel reprocessing to happen much more in the us.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might ensuring equal access to healthcare change our society, based on what you've observed or experienced?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you redesign your school system to better address social inequalities?
@9HL3SN4Libertarian1yr1Y
Make education more personal to the student. Increase teacher salaries to encourage more people to become teachers so it can actually happen.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Have you ever had to stand up for your rights or those of others, and what did you learn from that experience?
@9KJHRWS1yr1Y
Yes and I learned to speak up for myself and others not matter what.
@9KJHQ4V1yr1Y
yes, i used to be left/democrat but found myself being labeled as a right wing republican simply because i don't believe in the current ideologies of the democratic party. i'm a progressive but too much of what the left wants, violates my rights as an individual and as a citizen of this country.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you had the power to end one form of discrimination, which would you choose and why?
@9LJ6M79 1yr1Y
One form of discrimination that I would choose to end would be racism. I do understand that you can't really end it but I would want to decrease racist hate crimes and racist groups. I believe that racism is very upsetting and it's also pretty dangerous in certain areas. In my opinion, I see racism as something stupid because why does someone's skin color or culture make you so mad and angry?
@9LJ69321yr1Y
the discrimination of race its sick and tired of having people stereotype or think they are superior because of the their skin color
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you handle a situation where your personal values clash with those of your community or society?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
When was the last time you changed your mind about a social or political issue, and what prompted the change?
@9KY4ZBBIndependent1yr1Y
I am not involved in any politics at the moment, I plan to be more involved in the coming year or so, but I usually avoid political problems because of the drama that follows.
@9KY4KHR1yr1Y
after knowing more about the topic and reading more into it
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would your daily life be different if all public transportation was free?
@9HYD8TWIndependent1yr1Y
I loved it in AZ, it helped reduce traffic and I saved money
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What does true equality in education look like, and have you ever seen it in practice?
@9L4DZFW1yr1Y
I have never seen it but true equality would be every student receiving attention and support to their own level.
@9L4DZ4X1yr1Y
true equality means the same opportunities for every student no matter what. All of this crap of giving out scholarships and cuts just because of someones race is unfair. Everything should be based on merit. This has yet to be done.
