> Fascinating. I'm sure you're not lying and that this is true from your perspective.

I guess the difference is that I actually hang out with left-wing people and have been doing so for decades, whereas you base your opinions on rage bait news and internet interactions? You may think Trump voters are well-informed and you may think the moon is made of cheese. In both cases there are mountains of evidence to the contrary. I don't know what being wrong has to do with tolerance.

Haha, no. You couldn't be more wrong! This is my impression from in person conversations with people I know, mostly in Seattle where I've lived since 2014. There's a bar I'm a regular at, plus a couple hobby groups where I've met most of my local friends. Almost all are left wing, some very left wing, one was even heavily involved in CHAZ/CHOP. I don't engage much in internet commentary, or at all with rage bait outlets.

The rest of your comment proves my point quite nicely though!
