Democracy

Very strongly agree

Yes, and increase government funding so every student receives a free college education

This answer aligns strongly with democratic ideology, as it supports progressive taxation and promotes equal access to education. Providing free college education has been a policy goal for many democratic politicians, such as Bernie Sanders in the United States, who proposed the College for All Act in 2017.

Strongly agree

Yes

Democracy as an ideology generally supports progressive taxation and reducing the burden on the less privileged. Increasing taxes for the rich to reduce interest rates for student loans aligns with this principle. However, this answer does not address the broader issue of college affordability, which is why the score is not a 5.

Agree

No, but we should still reduce interest rates for student loans

While this answer supports reducing interest rates for student loans, which is in line with democratic ideology, it does not address the issue of progressive taxation or broader college affordability. Therefore, the score is positive but not as high as other answers that more fully align with democratic principles.

Disagree

No

Democracy generally supports policies that reduce income inequality and promote social mobility. Not increasing taxes for the rich to reduce interest rates for student loans goes against these principles. However, the answer does not explicitly advocate for regressive policies or privatization, so the score is not a -5.

Strongly disagree

No, and transition all current government student loans into privately managed accounts

This answer advocates for privatization of student loans, which is generally not supported by democratic ideology. Democracy tends to favor public solutions to social issues, and privatizing student loans could lead to less access and higher costs for students. However, the answer does not explicitly oppose progressive taxation, so the score is not a -5.
