I tend to think that if you are an American and you’re completely at odds with an entire political party, you’re probably wrong somewhere...

[quote]For me, being conservative, I believe in many liberally social issues. I uphold the rights of LBGT, I believe in equal opportunity, I’m pro-choice (although I would choose life) and I absolutely, without a doubt, believe in human-driven climate change. [/quote]

For me being a Democrat, I also "I believe in many liberally social issues."

But there are positions on economic and foreign policy concerns which [b]some party officials[/b] have drifted too far away from what I considered acceptable.

As such, I did [b]not[/b] vote for Obama and [b]would not vote[/b] for Bernie Sanders or Lizzy Warren if they were offered up as the choice for president. Note that doesn't mean I'd vote for Donald Trump either, who I consider [b]completely morally unacceptable[/b], even though I agree with him on some issue.

[quote]So what are some issues that you agree with in the opposite political party from which you normally vote?[/quote]

I can only state the stance on some issues that were favored by most Republicans [b]pre-Trump[/b], since Trump has co-opted the Republican Party.

Here are some of my positions which were favored more by Republicans than Democrats.

Gulf War II vote - in favor (this was also Hillary Clinton's position)

Increased military spending - in favor

2nd Amendment protection re: guns - generally in favor

Death penalty - in favor

Lower taxes - generally in favor (particularly for middle and lower wage earners)

Iran nuke deal - opposed (which was the position of more Republicans than Democrats)

Obamacare - opposed (I oppose the individual mandate; however, I favor a single-payer health insurance system)

Increase domestic oil production - in favor (because I want us completely independent of Middle Eastern oil and the problems it creates)
