As far as I can tell, none of them ever do. They're apparently uncomfortable discussing topics with people who don't share their views. That's unfortunate. I like talking to people who disagree with me because, sometimes, I learn from them and can change or modify my own view. As they say, one who doesn't know his opponent's argument doesn't fully understand his own.

They like their echo Chambers. They will even ban other liberals that date to disagree with them on so much as a singular political issue.

I was just reading an articles about how the NYT is not nearly liberal enough for many liberals. Apparently they are taking a good bit of heat for that.

And Sarah Kendzior, reacting to a Douthat column about White House adviser Stephen Miller†s importance in any immigration negotiations, outright declared the Times “a white supremacist paper.â€

With a few exceptions, liberals are generally unable to intelligently support their positions

I would limit that to Leftists, more than Liberals. I still think of Liberals in the old time Tip O'Neil/Bill Bradley sense.

To a point I agree. At one point liberals were about personal freedom and individual rights. That concept has gotten way off course in many cases.

Liberals today come in LEVELs of silliness/radicalism. Pelosi-Schumer is level 3. Sanders is level 2. Omar/Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez level 1 dang nuts.

The so-called ''liberals'' vote the same as the communists.

It's the only time they freely speak out (vote). I refer to today's liberals as 'silent complicitors'. Same as the mooooooslims who refuse to take a stand against the peaceful ones blowing up children.
There is no such thing as a liberal. There is no such thing as a moderate mooooooooooslim.
The America, and the American Military, that you once knew is gone.

I'd guess a lot of liberals voted against Trump just as a lot of Rinos voted against Hillary.

I like to believe, for the sake of my faith in humanity, the very few people voted FOR Trump or Hillary.

It's times like these when I sit back and think what will happen if one of these liberal loonies gets elected as President.

There is a big difference between that party and the current one
