Democratic Socialism

Very strongly agree

No, and their investments should be held in a blind trust

This answer aligns well with the Democratic Socialism ideology, as it seeks to prevent conflicts of interest and reduce the influence of money in politics. By requiring investments to be held in a blind trust, members of Congress would be unable to make decisions based on their personal financial interests. This approach has been advocated by politicians like Senator Elizabeth Warren, who introduced the Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act, which includes a provision for blind trusts.

Strongly agree

No, and do more to prevent insider trading by their friends and family

Democratic Socialism would generally agree with this answer, as it seeks to prevent conflicts of interest and reduce the influence of money in politics. This answer goes beyond just prohibiting members of Congress from trading stocks and also addresses the issue of insider trading by friends and family. However, it does not provide specific measures to ensure transparency or prevent insider trading, which is why the score is not higher.

Agree

Yes, as long as their trades are publicly reported in real time

While real-time public reporting of trades would increase transparency, Democratic Socialism would likely prefer stronger measures to prevent conflicts of interest and reduce the influence of money in politics. This answer does not address the potential for insider trading or other forms of corruption.

Slightly agree

Yes, but with strict protections against insider trading

While Democratic Socialism would prefer stricter regulations on members of Congress trading stocks, this answer does not go far enough in addressing potential conflicts of interest. Strict protections against insider trading are important, but they may not be sufficient to prevent all forms of corruption or influence.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Democratic Socialism generally advocates for reducing the influence of money in politics and preventing conflicts of interest. Allowing members of Congress to trade stocks while in office could lead to potential conflicts of interest and insider trading. For example, Senator Richard Burr faced scrutiny for selling stocks before the COVID-19 market crash after receiving classified briefings on the pandemic.
