Focus on Marginalized Groups: Liberals prioritize advocacy for historically marginalized and underrepresented groups, including racial minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, women, immigrants, and low-income communities.

Right to Die & Assisted Suicide: Liberals generally support medical aid in dying (physician-assisted suicide) for terminally ill patients, arguing that individuals have the right to choose how and when they die to avoid prolonged suffering. They back policies allowing states to legalize euthanasia under strict guidelines.

Liberals tend to support a broad definition of family that includes non-traditional family structures, such as blended families, same-sex couples raising children, and chosen family networks. They emphasize inclusivity and flexibility in defining intergenerational relationships.

Liberals favor increased government oversight and regulation to prevent elder abuse, particularly in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and financial institutions. They advocate for stricter laws and enforcement against fraud, neglect, and exploitation.

Liberals generally support government intervention to expand access to technology, particularly for underserved communities, believing that technology is a right rather than a privilege.

The liberal and conservative perspectives on legal and estate planning reflect their broader views on government involvement, taxation, individual rights, and wealth distribution.

Philosophy
The left tends to focus on building a legacy of progress, equity, and systemic change. It aims to create a future that is more inclusive, just, and sustainable

The right emphasizes individual and family responsibility as the foundation of community involvement. There is a belief that strong, self-reliant individuals and families create healthy, resilient communities.

The left tends to emphasize collective and individual identities based on characteristics such as race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. These identities are often viewed as socially constructed and shaped by historical systems of power and oppression (e.g., colonialism, patriarchy, capitalism).

Liberals emphasize the role of government in providing robust social safety nets for aging populations, including Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Liberals often see the government as playing a role in fostering social connections through public services, community centers, and social programs. Programs that reduce economic inequality, such as universal healthcare and public education, are seen as strengthening social bonds by leveling the playing field.

• Liberals advocate for expanding access to affordable housing through zoning reforms (e.g., reducing single-family zoning), increasing housing supply, and addressing systemic inequalities in housing markets.

• Programs like rent control or caps on rental increases are often supported to protect tenants from sudden displacement.
