    The liberal party wasn't always like this. They used to be the champions of free speech. Supporting rights and freedoms for everyone is a good cause. Helping those who can't help themselves, now that's a downright Christian ideal.

    But you know what, ww2 plane person, it shouldn't be about political teams like it's a sports match. That just bread and circuses for the peasants.

      I'm well aware of what the old true liberals used to believe. Those people are long gone.

      We're not, we just call ourselves politically homeless or "classical liberals" (accurate but too pretentious imo) instead of Democrats now, while the contemporary left calls us alt-right/Nazis/fascists.

        Maybe. I think we are a silenced and intimidated majority with no obvious party to organize around.
