Old-School Social Democrat (In the tradition of Hansson, Erlander, Gaitskell, Schmidt, Drees etc. as well as SDUSA, my only reservation in this regards is that I generally prefer the German model of health-care over single-payer) American Paleoliberal (The best descriptor in an American context, fitting in generally with the mainstream current of New Deal liberalism from 1932 to the 1970s as represented by FDR, Truman, Humphrey, Scoop Jackson, and the like. Its main drawback is that in the current context it will be confused with American Third Way liberalism of Clinton and Obama or the Progressivism of Bernie Sanders, both of which I have significant disagreements with) Left-wing Christian Democrat (Again a largely extinct brand of politics, although I'm far more unhesitant about the social market economic model than full social democracy. Best represented by the CDU/CSU of 1949 to the early 1970s)
Issues: Republican (In the small "r" sense although I'm not very dogmatic about this) Neo-Keynesian (On economics) Liberal Internationalist (On foreign policy) Labour Zionist Anthropocentric Environmentalist (The main goal of environmentalism should be the interests of humanity not of some random species of salmon due to which we cannot build hydroelectric dams or whatever) Culturally Traditionalist (Doesn't mean I support crude state-based "solutions" to victimless crimes like pornography, fornication, divorce etc. but the Western tradition is something worth upholding and assimilating our immigrants to. Multiculturalism is obvious folly) Liberal Feminist (Focus on the big issues such as sexual assault, spousal abuse not on "sexism in video games" or whatever, also pro-life)
