Kerry's political views on US domestic policy have always been liberal. He has consistently opposed the privatization of the social security and death penalty program, promoted the right of sexual minorities to enter into civil marriages, supported legislative control over arms and trade relations, and actively participated in international discussions about taking action in the fight against global warming.
