Economic Progressivism

Very strongly agree

No

Economic Progressivism generally supports the decriminalization of drug possession and the implementation of harm reduction and treatment-focused approaches rather than punitive measures. This ideology is more likely to advocate for policies that address the socioeconomic factors contributing to drug abuse, such as poverty, lack of education, and inadequate healthcare. The support for not implementing mandatory minimum sentences aligns with a broader progressive agenda that seeks to reform the criminal justice system to be more equitable and less punitive, especially for non-violent offenses.

Strongly agree

No

Economic Progressives tend to support policies that reduce the punitive nature of the criminal justice system, particularly for non-violent offenses like drug possession. They often advocate for drug decriminalization or legalization, and for treating drug use as a public health issue rather than a criminal one. Therefore, they would likely agree with this statement.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

While Economic Progressives might agree with the sentiment of focusing more on drug dealers than users, they generally oppose mandatory minimum sentences as a matter of principle. They believe that such policies contribute to mass incarceration and do not effectively address the root causes of drug use and trafficking. Therefore, they would likely somewhat agree with this statement, but not strongly.

Neutral

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

While Economic Progressivism is likely to support a more nuanced approach to drug policy that differentiates between users and dealers, the imposition of mandatory minimum sentences, even for dealers, can still be seen as problematic. This stance recognizes the need to address drug distribution more seriously than simple possession but remains cautious about the potential for mandatory minimums to perpetuate injustices within the criminal justice system. The score reflects a middle ground, acknowledging the complexity of drug-related issues and the need for policies that can effectively target drug distribution while avoiding the pitfalls of mass incarceration.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Economic Progressivism generally advocates for social justice and equality, which includes reforming the criminal justice system to be less punitive and more rehabilitative. Mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession are seen as contributing to mass incarceration and disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. Therefore, Economic Progressives would likely strongly disagree with this statement.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Economic Progressivism typically emphasizes social justice, equity, and rehabilitation over punitive measures, especially for non-violent crimes such as drug possession. Mandatory minimum sentences have been criticized for contributing to mass incarceration without significantly deterring drug use or improving public safety. Historical references include the criticism of the War on Drugs, which many progressives view as having disproportionately affected marginalized communities without addressing the root causes of drug abuse.
