For me, I vote 99.9% republican, this year I voted for 2 libertarian candidates for Public Service Commissioner but I don't consider myself a republican they are just the lesser of 2 evils, very few politicians I have voted for did I actually LIKE but their opponents were even worse and I actually hated their policies or ideas. Anyways the few things I can think of that I agree with the other side on not one particular politician are these things

I am not pro life or pro choice/abortion, I believe in Eugenics so I don't mind abortion as I prefer quality over quantity and from my point of view I see who is getting abortions and I say go for it!

I am FOR universal healthcare, not for getting rid of private health insurance though but ALL insurance should offer the same level of care. You shouldn't get better healthcare because you pay for it via a private plan etc unless you are going to a private personal doctor.

I am FOR universal education/no cost college like most of the civilized world has.

I am FOR universal paid maternity leave

How about everyone else? I don't think there are many more that I agree with the left on but I consider mine common sense ideas especially since my ideology is about the collective and not the selfish individual.
 
I'm not a partisan , never was, so i take each issue one by one, parse it out and try and make some sense of it all Preacher

look a my sig line- I despise partisan hacks, equally,regardless of their title or station in life- including posters who feel they have the right to force their beliefs on others through legislation- no matter what their pet beliefs are- universal, btw, is trying to force a belief- I can't find that in the constitution. Can the OP point out where that power/authority is granted? Is the OP aware that "grants and privileges" can be rescinded?

I believe in free enterprise- I KNOW that free is unencumbered- I believe in free trade- I KNOW that free is unencumbered- I subscribe to the US Constitution, as written- I KNOW that without word definition, interpretation doesn't exist-

I am a paleoconservative. I agree with none of the other side's ideas. None of them.
 
I believe we need multiple parties to provide a balance, to keep any one ideology from becoming too excessive in overreach. For the Republicans - I value fiscal responsibility and preserving free speech in the face of PC overreach.
 
I agree on guns and to an extent immigration. It gets me in trouble with a lot of left wingers, especially my father.

Abortion is tricky. On one hand it's tough to tell a woman what to do with her body, unless you're Democrat forcing people to wear a mask I mean (COUGH!). On the other hand, why is it a contraceptive, and finally it's murder of a human no matter how you slice it, a person has to live with that. Personally I'd like to see a two abortions you're out rule, mothering parts are removed the second time or go to Mexico and have it done, freedom of choice with limitations.

I'm not for universal healthcare because anytime the lazy relax on someone else's dime it invites more laziness, never mind it's not right. EVERYONE should have to pay for it less children, and TRULY disabled. You get what you pay for and you get what you put into it.

If you had a nut you'd know our education system is already free or close. Again, you get out of it what you put into it. Socialism does not work. Additionally, PROGS have already ruined much of public education, why make it worse and ADDITIONALLY, you're fucking telling me Sally goes to Community College for free while good-time Linda goes to a BIGASS school for free too? Shit, I'll take Princeton or some shit, this is going to be fun and all "free", nobody pays for it.

Right, universal maternity leave. So good-time Linda got knocked up by some Trojan they haven't determined yet. She abused drugs anyway, so she dropped out of UCLA, which was "free". She worked at Burger King for drug money, now we pay her maternity leave. Neat. Hey, can we do this with illegals too?

Sorry to go off, but I feel you need another look. As for me there's not a single thing I agree with the left on. For one thing, even if they said something remotely home they do the other. I don't see where they stand for anything other than trickery and twisted.
 
On a side, I find it a pinch off kilter you're for abortion AND universal healthcare where everyone receives equal medical care. Just an opinion.

Honestly the ONLY topic I'm even close left is pollution. But it's not as though CONSERVATIVES desire anything short of clean air, water and mother Earth, PROGS lie. Conservatives simply try to be reasonable about it, though I realize an ant specie someplace is threatened by extinction.

End of the day PROGS are primarily hypocrites. While these 20 year olds (DEMOCRATS) preach to everyone what's right they take 40 minute showers, electronics everywhere. Californians are into their takeover of my State and I've found the common theme for middle age plus who sold-out for cash (upper-ish middle-class exodus) is they're fully self-absorbed. And they love their batteries and no light is enough. We once had a clear sky here, now 2 trillion watt bulbs, and my new neighbor recently surrounded their 1/2 acre with designer lights, must be 40 of them. No expense or luxury too much whether swimming pools, RV and garages or the place down the street sporting elephants and Zebras, GEEZUS this is old Cowboy ranchland, lived here since 78 and now folks express how awesome they are with zoos in their front yards. It's fun to watch the wealthy try to out-do one another, 150K landscape has suddenly become common. They're all former Californians.

Once upon a time our beaches were clean, now they leave their garbage everywhere and drug paraphernalia too. These are the people who support Democrats over-all, and surely they've picked up the disrespect learned from California, and all Californians are happy to bring it here regardless what party they claim.

So I'm back to no, I don't agree with mainstream left on anything.

I like the idea that when whiny liberals lose an election they want to leave the country. Too bad they never follow through.
 
The closest thing that I can come up with to answer your (OP) question is a quiet support for Labor Unions for certain kinds of jobs. Assembly, manual labor, etc. However, personally, I have met more Conservative friends in our (Steel Workers) union than I have lefttardz.
