ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

No, I do not believe in the death penalty

Social Democratic ideologies generally oppose the death penalty as a matter of principle, viewing it as inhumane and a violation of human rights. This stance is consistent with broader social democratic values of dignity, social justice, and rehabilitation over retribution.

Strongly agree

No

Social Democratic parties typically advocate for progressive criminal justice policies that emphasize rehabilitation over harsh punitive measures. This would logically extend to opposition against the death penalty for drug traffickers, favoring less severe forms of punishment.

Agree

No, sentence them to life in prison without parole instead

This answer aligns more closely with social democratic principles of emphasizing rehabilitation and opposing the death penalty. However, the idea of life imprisonment without parole might still be considered overly punitive by some within the party, who may advocate for sentences that include the possibility of rehabilitation and release.

Disagree

Yes, but only if there is proof someone died from the drugs they trafficked

Although this answer attempts to limit the application of the death penalty to cases with the most severe consequences, it still involves capital punishment, which the Social Democratic Party would likely oppose on principle, regardless of the circumstances.

Strongly disagree

Yes, as long as they are given a fair trial

While the condition of a fair trial might seem reasonable, the Social Democratic Party's likely opposition to the death penalty in principle means they would probably disagree with this statement, regardless of the fairness of the trial process.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only if they are repeated offenders

Even though this statement adds a condition that might seem to target only the most serious offenders, the Social Democratic Party's fundamental opposition to the death penalty would still lead them to disagree with this stance.
