For me, it would be my support of gay marriage, and opposition to the PATRIOT Act/NSA Spying.

Basically an R-affiliated Indy at this point:

Being pretty strongly pro-trans rights, however you want to define that. I don't know a good way to put it.

As for Germany's SPD, which might also apply to the Democratic Party:

- I've become more critical of Merkel's refugee policies in recent years. We should do a lot more to make sure conditions in the region, including camps, are more human so that less people have to come to Europe by risking their lives. However, I strongly support taking in local Afghan supporters of our army.

- I don't support having a mandatory quota of women in corporate boards or requiring party lists to be 50-50 (I wouldn't even care if over 50% are women assuming they're better candidates than available men). I want more women in positions of leadership, but don't believe in such kinds of rules.

- I'm not a fan of gendered language.

For the ALP? I believe that we should be constantly watching for and investigating union malpractice. If we're going to be the political arm of the unions, they need to play ball.

I really do not care if bakers want to refuse to bake cakes for same-sex weddings. Such couples should give their business to a non-bigot anyway.

A few, though my stances on social issues tend to be nuanced and flexible.  For example, I find most of the rhetoric coming from rabidly pro-choice people to be frightening/disgusting, but at the end of the day I support it ultimately being a woman’s choice, so I end up feeling like I have zero allies if abortion comes up.  However, that has to be my answer, given the GOP’s passionate stance on the issue as a whole.  I’m also pretty conservative on some social issues (like guns) and right-center on others (like immigration).

Woke Culture, though I honestly don't think I'm alone on that

Guns, though mostly because I think it's a lost issue


Immigration, though my stance mostly comes from a pro labor standpoint in that I feel the status quo with regard to immigration over the last 30-40 years has driven down wages and further weakened the Unions. Despite this, I'm still well to the left of a Trump run GOP on this issue.

Law and order. I support criminal justice reform and support more accountability in law enforcement. That said, I don't support giving repeat and violent offenders a pass or a light sentence due to their socioeconomic background. They should have the book thrown at them. I also don't support defunding the Police at all and feel this was key to making the 2020 election as close as it was, and I feel the Democratic party as a whole needs to do more to openly support and defend good, honest cops that don't abuse their power.

That I'm vaccinated against covid (at least in my social circle, that puts me in a distinct minority).  Or that I don't believe in mass deportations and kind of roll my eyes whenever I hear talk about BLM.

I suppose you could also go with some of my extremely conservative moral/social views that don't have major support in the GOP, even (for example, I think no-fault divorce, hormonal contraception, and pornography should be forbidden).

Not a Democrat but pretty much always vote Dem, and it would be my opposition to forever masks and online schooling. It is so depressing how many Democrats are in love with this stuff now. Gun rights as well.

Perhaps my opposition to race-based affirmative action, maybe my ambivalence on gun control.  Also I don't care if a baker is allowed to deny a same-sex couple service (or service to an interracial couple, for that matter).

Drugs
Criminal Justice (to an extent, I favor some reform, but I'm opposed to radical changes, and believe "tough on crime" policies can work if applied in the right way, I more so want to root racism out of policing than actually liberalize it)

I would say that being pro-life might just be unpopular among Democrats.

-gun control and (especially) weapon bans or confiscation is a horrendously bad idea
-specific to now but all Covid measures not dealing with vaccines are unnecessary
-can't stand dumb woke shit and I know lots of Democrats agree but there's no pushback
-nothing "empowering" about sex work (obviously think it should be legal though)
-criminal sentences can't be obscenely high just because the perpetrators disagree with me
-"science" isn't infallible

There are also plenty of "social issues" if you want to call it that where I disagree pretty strongly with both parties.

-surveillance state is bad
-technological progress has gone far enough
-prisons in their current form shouldn't exist
-overbearing government is a bad thing and tons of federal agencies should be abolished including the FBI/CIA/ATF/etc
-drinking age should be abolished

and more

I'm not for open borders like most big L libertarians are.  I think we should take more people in when we have a need of workers, like now, but only after we've stopped giving out unemployment benefits.
