I consider myself a tough on crime libertarian, and a R leaner. I disagree with R the most on abortion and stem-cell research. I am firmly pro-choice, since I value individual liberty. I am extremely sick of R who wants to ban abortion and stem-cell research.

While I respect religious people, I strongly hope we can get rid of the extremists who want to force their belief on others. You are free to believe life begins with contraception, but please don't force others to agree with you, and use government power to restrict the freedom of those who disagree with you.

Does that mean you want to bring back prohibition? Tongue

No, it means I think 18-year-olds should be allowed to drink beer in the middle of Times Square.

I guess it would be the plastic bag bans and the paper straws and also with a lot of environmental restrictions, it's easier for rich people to afford the greener products and I think it's out of touch with the everyday shopper and person.

A friend recently went to an airport in California where they were charging for glass water bottles and that just seems ridiculous.

I don't believe that pronouns need to be put in all cisgender people's emails either.

I probably agree with 50% of the so-called "woke" things, and don't agree with the other 50% of it.  

I still think it's all a distraction from the big enchilada - which is the economy, and how I believe it is rigged against the working class and the everyday person and tilted in favor of the wealthy elites.  I maintain that this is really the heart and soul of what the Democratic Party should be - giving more wealth and opportunity to the poor and lower classes, and not to do the bidding of the rich and powerful.

I think nuclear energy is the sole issue where Republicans are right and Democrats are wrong.

I've already said repealing Roe was dumb, dangerous and not necessary, so I guess that.

immigration, I'm less for it in general than big L libertarians are.  But I'm only a member of that party due to process of elimination (meaning all the other parties are far worse, imagine being a Dem or Pubby or Green in 2022, how embarrassing).

Public education.  We need more state/federal support for schools in districts without an adequate tax base, and we need DOE to write and enforce national benchmark standards for K-12.

What exactly is your disagreement with the GOP on healthcare?

Assuming that the Democrats count as "my party", it's really kind of hard to say, because they aren't exactly a united front on a lot of issues.

Immigration reform and Biden not sending in NATO for the war in either Ukraine or Afghanistan, Putin saw how weak we were in Afghanistan and pulled out forces out too soon that's why he started the war on Ukraine just like Vietnam attacked us after the Cuban Missile Crisis and Korea losses.



Terrorist see US pull troops out of other countries and they test is and Afghanistan was the test and we lost Afghanistan to the Taliban

Also, Biden hasn't visited the border one time or Harris they went to Central America neither did Obama we need both Border security and immigration Reform

Hey, hold on there, pal: Baltimore's own Kurt Schmoke was advocating for needle exchange and a host of other progressive, anti-drug war policies all the way back during the HW administration*! Don't let the hippies take all the credit for the great innovations of The City That Reads (a sobriquet coined by Schmoke himself)!

*too bad he was and still is a "school choice" guy though [sad face]

Technically, it's not disagreeing with the GOP or its platform, but with a lot of loud voices among commentators and activists (and now a few elected officials).

If I had to say an issue, I'd probably disagree the most on immigration.

1. The continued support for Trump. I view politics of emotion to be unhealthy and dangerous and the obsession with a single individual to be contrary to the notion of divided power and restrained government.

2. Campaign Finance, Lobbying, and Redistricting Reform.

2. Healthcare - I agree with Cody and OSR.

3. Education - I agree with DT in part. I am concerned about centralization, "teaching to the test" and I am skeptical of the need for the DoE. However, I certainly agree that rather than surrendering the public education system and just going all in on school choice as an appropriate substitute, is unrealistic and dangerous. School Choice should be the back up, but the ultimate and primary focus should be reform of the public system, accountability, fighting the Teacher's Unions (the Pandemic exposed a lot of people to the problems of public system dominated and essentially owned by a special interest group). There is too much of our own special interest groups pushing in the direction of basically abolishing the public school system and that is the wrong path for "Conservatism" to take, all due respect to my Libertarian friends. I do agree with libertarians when it comes to the need to abolish the student loan program.

Believing everything is some sort of conspiracy theory

The fact that this counts as a disagreement with the Republican Party is both depressing and hilarious.

I still blame this on the donor influence really, but also the trifecta of donors, media and pressure groups.  If your choice is between reality and pissing this trifecta off, your path to power very quickly will dictate that your interests coincide with either conspiracy mongering, misinformation, or both.  

"I don't have compromise on x, its all just a lie anyway".

Its the basic premise behind Alex Jones' approach to Sandy Hook, if the attack isn't real, then you don't have to talk about gun safety. If Global Warming isn't real, you don't have to come up with an alternative to the Democrats on climate change. If January 6 isn't real, you don't have to question the wisdom of pledging such devotion to one flawed human being.

Its just so much easier to go crazy than it is to anger that billionaire on speed dial who funds all your campaigns, or that cable network funded by that billionaire or that pressure group funded by that billionaire.
