Economic issues:

I consider myself to be center-left on economic issues, but here are a few economic disagreements I have with the Democratic Party:

-I'm very pro-free trade, while most Democratic Party politicians aren't.
-I'm in favor of Wall Street deregulation. I support repealing Dodd-Frank. However, we should reinstate Glass Stegall.
-I am a strong supporter of Obamacare, but I oppose universal healthcare.
-I'm strongly opposed to tax increases on the wealthy, but I don't support cutting taxes on the rich either. I believe that we shouldn't cut or raise taxes on the rich. I believe the current top bracket tax rate (which is around 40% IIRC) is perfect. However, we should tax capital gains and carried interest like regular income and close loopholes. 
- We should abolish corporate taxes. We should pay for it by taxing capital gains and carried interest like regular income and closing loopholes.

I can't think of any other disagreements on economic issues I have with the Democratic Party.

Social Issues:

- I strongly support background checks, but I think banning "assault" rifles is pretty pointless.

I can't think of anything else
