You *might * be a moderate Democrat, but that's not what your party represents. Your party is now far Alt left. Own it. To the inceles above who posted above that they are pro gay, minorities, blah blah blah. Save it. Its about the votes. Period. Full stop.
Yeah Queens is diverse as can be - you don't have to wear anything there to "fit in". I can't think of a better place to wear whatever the hell you want.
OP and tigerking are trolls.

I think being liberal is being open minded and understanding that people are different and have different points of view.
I find conservatives a lot less tolerant of other people's views.
Now, I do think there is a cancel culture wing if liberals that does not describe me.
Those people are tribal anti Republicans.
They are not open minded.
There are simply people on all political extremes that think they are right and cannot tolerate differences.
Like vegans.
I totally think we should have free college.
But I can accept many people think otherwise.
Of course, in a decade or so, I am sure we will have free college.
Liberals are generally ahead of the times.
They were for gay marriage before it happened.
They were for interracial marriage before it happened.
They were for civil rights before it happened.
They were for free high school before it happened.
They were for social security before it happened.
Sometimes it's hard to wait for everyone to catch up to where you are.
The views that you listed are your opinion and nothing more. I'm a conservative and do care about people. I work in a soup kitchen thru my Church and go to a "not nice" area of Detroit.
Your label of liberals being less tolerant is your own. I have many liberal friends and we are all decent people. Being conservative on political policies does not make someone closed minded.
You're just not happy because everyone doesn't think like you do and you label them as a racist to ease your own insecurities. Clearly you did NOT do your homework on Hillary Clinton.
It appears that you are a simple person on many political extremes and cannot tolerate differences.
Being happy that Obama was in office for 8 years and labeling anyone as a racist who didn't vote for him is clearly someone who would not be labeled a "thinker".

Not recognizing that people are born gay, denying two women or two men the right to adopt a child or live as a legal couple isnt open minded.
Denying a black man from marrying a white woman wasn't being open minded.
Denying a black woman from drinking from the same water fountain wasn't being open minded.
Denying people health care because they can't afford it is not being open minded.

Actually TIGER, maybe you are not a troll, but I do believe the OP is, and I try and tell when I see a troll, just because I want to interact with normal people.
Ah yes, bit of a spam here, but just to be clear, I have only used the word troll and never ever racist or those other expressions you name here, and when I do say troll I mean troll factories as the ones that Trump run, or Putin or China or other states, and I hate them.
And the democrats! and I am espescially hard on them, because they should be better than that, and there was the last word from me.

People tend to "like" certain facebook posts because you're expected and comment on how horrible we are as a country.
I see the polarization.
Translation: No one likes my "All Lives Matter" shirt.

Here is what I have experienced in the least 6 weeks.
Discussions with conservatives. We agree, we disagree. We talk. We go our separate ways.
Discussions with liberals; Even though I inform them that I voted for the same person as them, the fact that I disagreed with some on one or more topics, caused the following: Screaming at me. Insults. Asking people which car was mine ( so they could damage it)
Things need to change
I describe myself as a classical liberal, am NOT a Trump supporter, and voted for both Obama and Hilary. I have noticed the same thing. Pretty much all of the hysterical, overly emotional, reactive, hateful people seem to be on the left. I've watched video after video after video of left-wingers stealing signs, assaulting Trump supporters, screaming, etc. Not saying there aren't crazies on the right because there definitely are, but the behavior described seems to be WAAAAY more prevalent on the left. I've had several people on the left straight up tell me they cannot talk politics with people who disagree with them because of how angry they get. I've never heard a conservative say such things.

Don't make me laugh. Open minded? Hence why you and your tribe silence and deplatform even the most moderate of opposition voices.
This thread was definitely started by Jamin or Hardloper.

"...left-wingers stealing signs..."
The Houston Astros are left-wingers?
Wow. There are some really upset people here!
I remember seeing the photo in the local paper with female college students actually laying on the ground, crying, the day after Trump won.
As democrats, this is exactly what the conservatives are hoping to see. We need to stand together.
You're a troll, but I'll reply anyway.
Getting yelled at over politics really depends on who you're talking to and if you hit the right trigger points. I have friends that I can piss off on both sides of the aisle. These people are emotionally unhinged and not exclusive to either party.
You may be a registered Democrat, but you're a certifiable moron if you think only liberals fly off the hinges when talking about politics.

You are certainly a liberal. As my original post. Name calling.
And, I made sure to emphasize "my experience"
Try and refrain from exposing yourself so quickly
And yes, against my personal feeling, I actually voted for Hillary - but, only because I could not vote for Trump. Not because I had any respect or any good notions of her at all.
Why do you expect people to be polite? What has civility achieved? I held my tongue when Bill Clinton, for whom I voted, capitulated with the right in his first term and sold out what remained of the Democratic party’s soul. I mostly held my tongue when I saw Obama allow himself to be mesmerized by Clintonesque neo-liberal economics. But I no longer care to be polite to moderate Democrats. Your politics of pretend have helped to create a party of capitulation, accommodating a financialized economy that ignores blue collar people and pretty much everyone without a 401k plan. You want policies that acknowledge the climate disaster, but not with the teeth to actually address them. You should be happy your progressive friends respect you enough to argue with you. I argue with my baby boomer parents and their undying love for the Clintons and Joe Biden. They are thankful I still speak to them at all. Stop expecting people to be polite over existential disagreements. This is not a game of bridge. It is a fight to ensure our children and grandchildren have a future. I don’t care to be polite with people whom I regard to be hypocrites.
