They're not really Liberals, at least not in the way of Jimmy Carter or even Bill Clinton. More like in the way of FDR, on one hand forcing more Government on the people, and the other hand sending Japanese Americans into Summer camps

It is a victory for the woke mob when a white person posts on social media how they hate white people. Then they know they got another one for the hive.
The problem is too many conservatives are speaking for the liberals and too many liberals are speaking for the conservatives. Both are often off base from reality.

Very few posters I've read here, if any, present the view "that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial and ethnic groups." If you know people irl who hold that viewpoint, too bad for you.
Pretty much You disagree with someone who is a Democrat in the last 10 years, you don't put a little black box on your Twitter page, or a rainbow flag, and "you are no longer a neutral party", You are "Right Wing Enabler". This is what is insane.

The problem is who knows what people who call themselves Democrats are going to believe in next, there ideas of what a Democrat is, is in a constant state of flux and changes daily. The Police are Pillars of society one day, and evil the next? There's probably 4 or 5 types of Republicans. Probably a hundred different types of Dems.

That just leaves accusing people of racism/homophobia/whatever, but there haven't been any major stories about that recently. Of course that doesn't stop some people, like the ol' OP here, who's just making vague accusations.
Well, that’s lefties, I guess. There’s a lot more nuance which I see in poor proportion here to those which I work with and deal with on a day to day basis. Most people don’t think in black-and-white like that. It’s a weird environment here.

I haven't run into any 'white supremacists' here. Sometimes there are trolls but they cover all the bases.

I’ve seen a few basically float the idea of racially-based nations being the new norm. Maybe that’s not white supremacist per se, but...white or not, that seems like a dreadful idea.

So while I see some smattering of white supremacy here and there, it’s mostly what I think are fairly insular Americans who don’t cotton to Thair restaurants or Spanish in their instruction manuals. Most of what I see here is less racial than it is some sort of insularity and a lack of imagination or wonder for the world. Somehow the US is the only wonderful place on this planet.

Most people don't write things in "Politics and Other Controversies" websites, either. A place like this is going to attract people who have strong opinions about those things.

What you are really "disappointed" with is that City Data is one of the few social media platforms that still allows the free exchange of viewpoints and opinions.

The moderators here do an absolutely excellent job of ensuring that these forms of debate are kept respectful. If things cross the line of civility, they are quick to intervene, eradicate offenders, and close thread when needed.

I have been a member here for almost 15 years. I have gone from a liberal (and outspoken supporter of Barack Obama in 2008) to someone with more conservative and in the last few years, right wing viewpoints and leanings.

Through it all, I have always been allowed to speak.

If you want a forum that is dedicated to supporting the liberal narrative, but censoring and demonizing those that disagree with it, there are plenty of those out there for you.
