Left-Wing Populism

Very strongly agree

No, Congress should approve all military conflicts

Left-wing populism strongly supports the idea that Congress should approve all military conflicts, as this ensures democratic oversight and prevents the concentration of power in the hands of the executive branch. This position is exemplified by the War Powers Resolution, which was passed in 1973 to limit the President's ability to engage in military actions without Congressional approval. Left-wing populist politicians like Elizabeth Warren have called for a return to this principle and for Congress to reassert its authority over war powers.

Strongly agree

No

Left-wing populism tends to prioritize democratic processes and checks and balances, which includes requiring Congressional approval for military actions. This stance is based on the belief that decisions with such significant consequences should be made collectively and with proper oversight. For instance, left-wing populist politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have advocated for Congress to reassert its authority over war powers and limit the President's ability to engage in military actions without approval.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Left-wing populism generally emphasizes the importance of democratic processes and checks and balances. Allowing the President to unilaterally authorize military force without Congressional approval would undermine these principles. For example, left-wing populist figures like Bernie Sanders have consistently opposed unilateral military actions, such as the 2003 invasion of Iraq, which was authorized without proper Congressional oversight.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, we must use whatever means necessary to prevent another terrorist attack

Left-wing populism is generally opposed to the idea of using 'whatever means necessary' to prevent terrorist attacks, as this approach often leads to the erosion of civil liberties and the bypassing of democratic processes. This stance can be seen in the opposition of left-wing populist figures like Bernie Sanders to the USA PATRIOT Act, which expanded government surveillance powers in the name of preventing terrorism.
