"Preaching to the choir" means talking to people who already agree with you. So, neither a conservative talking to conservatives nor a liberal talking to liberals is preaching to the choir.
Edit:
I put this wrong, although the first sentence is correct. Never mind.

@bijouxbroussard In real life, the choir rarely agrees with the preacher 😀, but in idioms, it is thought to.
"preach to the choir
To try to convince someone about something that they already support; to state one's opinion to those who are already most receptive to it.
You're preaching to the choir here—we all have kids and understand how busy life can get.
Honestly, you're preaching to the choir, but I just don't have any money to donate."

@Mamapolo2016 Yes, I am familiar. But you also said

I was puzzled, because it seems like they [b]would[/b] be, based on the definition.

@bijouxbroussard You are right. I was thinking right but writing wrong. If you follow...I'm going to bed. 😂
