We Respond to Criticism About TaraElla

Liberals and conservatives have said nice things about TaraElla. But some from both camps have criticised her cultural campaigns too.

For conservatives, it's about her stance on marriage equality and her pro-welfare stance. They say that she can't be truly pro-family if she wants to 'destroy marriage'. But we would rather argue that gay marriages don't destroy marriage. On the other hand, conservatives have been fixated so much on the free market that they are decidedly anti-welfare, but TaraElla's pro-welfare stance may actually benefit families much more.

For liberals, it's generally about her views on cheating, divorce, drugs and alcohol. She has been called a prohibitionist at times. However, she is just promoting the clean living lifestyle in her sincere belief of it. She is not forcing it on others, and there is no prohibitionist stance in her politics at all.
