What you describe is bare minimum social programs, government staying out of marriage, business, religion, and military intervention. These are all textbook conservative positions, not liberal ones and definitely not Democratic party platform. Shows how far right we are in America that you would even think these qualify.In short, social programs should help the poor who help themselves and not those unwilling to do anything. I have always wanted to help monetarily with the poor who need assistance but, if you don't work you don't eat. Not against gay marriage but, don't believe homosexuality is right because of religious beliefs. However, people have the right to make their own decisions but, churches or organizations/businesses who disagree with the union should not be forced to be involved.
Contrary to belief I am against being in any country militarily unless they ask us to be there and pay for us to be there.
Not totally for deregulation on everything, Some things require some oversight but it cannot be so harsh that it hurts a company's bottom line or causes outsourcing.
The problem these days is no one wants to give an inch.
Now you...
As for me and the Democratic party I am a gun owner and 2nd amendment supporter. I'm not on board with religious exceptions for Islamic beliefs like the Dems seem to be, Islam is just as terrible as Christianity and in many ways worse. We are a secular nation period, doesn't matter if it's Catholicism, Wicca, or Zoroastrianism you check your imaginary sky friend at the door. I'm left of Bernie, the majority of Democratic party positions are too conservative for me. Dems have been in bed with Wall Street since before I was born, it's a corporatist party and I'm a populist.
