How true is this?

The left-wing are the champions of tolerance unless they don’t like you. They push for free speech unless they disagree with what your opinion is. They believe strongly in women’s rights, unless you are a pro-life woman. They will advocate for $15 minimum wage but will say nothing when your job is gone. They will say democracy is the best form of government and then kick and scream to overturn the results they did not vote for.

Liberals are tolerant of people from all walks of life, except those who show prejudice or hate. Of course they value free speech, but most don't support hate speech because that is a form of intolerance based on a characteristic like race. They aren't tolerant of bigoted views.

@fazer1k No you are sadly mistaken. Leftists are the greatest hate machine on the planet. They only use differences to gain power. Sympathy and empathy have nothing to do with it. It is called the politics of division. Look it up sometime.

@hippyjoe1955 You have no idea what you are talking about, otherwise you would know that liberals are centre ground, politically. Further to the left you get socialism then communism at the extreme left. Tolerance is clearly not hatred.

Politics of division is a tactic unrelated to where a party lies politically. Trump used the principle by peddling the idea Hilary was a criminal, falsely of course as she has not been charged with anything.

@hippyjoe1955 I have just got used to you making false statements and correcting them for you. Feel free to buy a textbook and check for yourself.

@hippyjoe1955 It's cute how throw a bunch of shade at a group of people and then blame them for using 'politics of division'.

If you demonstrated you are actually interested in getting people of all walks, races, genders, and abilities working together then great, but those are not the values you are communicating here.

@hippyjoe1955 Sigh. I actually know conservatives. If there was such a thing, I I have met or personally know many of the biggest names in the Evangelical Christian world. I have awards from the Republican Party. I didn't know a single liberal until I went to college. I do not see that in reverse. Are your family members liberals? Do you have close friends who are liberal? Because I don't believe you do. You sound like a right wing sound byte, not someone who actually knows liberals.

@SW-User Please inform us of the liberal policies. Would be interesting to find out what exactly are your policies, have them down in writing, and be able to see just where you are coming from.
SW-User
@sunsporter1649 That is a tall order. Try picking a few specific ones that you are most interested in.

@SW-User Its easy, just pick any conservative viewpoint, and its automatically opposed.

@sunsporter1649 Lol. Awww, you don't even understand the meaning of the words liberal and conservative. Allow me to start with some super easy policies for you.
L: Abortion should be a decision made between a woman and her doctor.
C: No abortion!
L: We don't want people to need an abortion. We need comprehensive sex ed in schools and birth control to be covered by insurance companies.
C: The HORROR! Children should be told not to have sex and women should just keep their legs together. Just don't touch my Viagra.
L: Abstinence only education has been proven to be harmful. It does nothing to combat teen pregnancy or abortion rates, and causes increased problems with STD's.
C: Put prayer back in schools then. Look at how perfect life was in the 50's.
L: The 50's actually had a bigger problem with teen pregnancy and violence in schools than we have now.
C: Stop spouting facts. Just ban all abortions. Be grateful if we don't hang women for getting one.
L: Sigh. Ok.... Then you are going to increase aid to poor children, right? Maybe help with food and medical insurance?
C: Hell, no. Put the moochers to work. They don't get a penny.
L: But you are condemning people to a cycle of poverty that they will be unable to escape.
C: They can get a 3rd job. Slackers.
L: Sigh. What about their children? Let's ignore the fact that they now will be left alone all of the time. What about education?
C: Damn moochers. Why should I care about their education? They have run down schools and underpaid teachers. Why are they whining?
L: Education and community programs helped keep kids from making bad life choices.
C: They need Jesus. Not my money. I might give thoughts and prayers though when someone shoots up a school and kills several of them.
L: (bangs head on table) Prison rates are inversely proportional to educational spending.
C: Stop using big words. I bet you learned them at your fascist, communist, elite, out of touch universities.
L: seriously?
C: AR 15s for everyone! 2nd Amendment rights!
L: We were even talking about guns. But you also seem to have misread the 2nd Amendment.
C: Shut up snowflake. Go back to your safe space.
L: Wtf? You aren't even making sense!
C: Fake News! Make America Great!
L: Damn. We REALLY need to up spending on mental health...
C: Why don't you say that to my gun collection?
L: I give up. There is no point in talking to you.
C: Ha! I won! Loser! I am obviously right.
L: I need to find a liquor store...
