Vocal "minority?" You serious?

If that is true, perhaps you should stop labeling yourself liberals. I mean I'm willing to admit these so called "liberals" today are not what I remember them to be back in the 80s and even 90s. But if your Democrat Party has been hijacked, perhaps it is time for you to leave?

I'm an independent myself.

I bet you didn't know I'm also an independent. I like how you assume I'm some mainstream leftist. I've been left the democratic party since 2016. I left mainly die to the divides between the elites and the people.
The reason I call the SJWs a vocal minority is because the liberals I know are tolerant and can take a joke. The type of people who are boring to see on television, and the media won't talk about as a result.

"I bet you didn't know I'm also an independent. I like how you assume I'm some mainstream leftist. "

Well, judging from your previous post, can you seriously blame me? I mean, you too also made false assumptions, right? As I have pointed out, it is not a "minority" of a few SJW. This has been a nonstop whining and complaining by majority of the left since 2012.

" because the liberals I know are tolerant and can take a joke."

That... is a logical fallacy, right? Just because the ones you know are not like that, doesn't actually make it a statement of majority or minority. Such statement can only be examined by statistics, correct?

Let me walk this through, you said that I attribute a "minority" voice to the majority b/c of my experiences in reading a few things in the media. Correct? But, can you admit you did EXACTLY the same thing you just accused me of? By making an assumption based on a FEW of your OWN personal experiences?

I'm just asking for a fair evaluation.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you guys got out and more power to you. But the very reason you got out is because you feel the Democrats and modern "liberalism" no longer fit your beliefs and philosophy, correct? If you are the majority, you wouldn't have done that. You obviously believe majority of the Democrat Party and/or liberals are now snowflake SJW, that's why you left.

So if that is case, my meme is not addressing you or your friends. So you shouldn't feel offended. If anything, I affirm what you already believed about modern liberals that made you leave their party.

Fair point. A lot of the Democratic party are the type of people whom I dislike. I made the vocal minority comment because I don't think a huge amount of the Democratic party actually call themselves "SJWs". However, there are enough of the Elite and Social lefts to make me depart from the Democratic party entirely, especially since I think social issues and politics aren't to be interfered with.

I also criticized your evaluations on the left around SJWS by how the media, when they report anything done by the left, want to stir controversies by showing protestors and their signs. I can't say whether you consume mainstream media or not, but I could safely make the assumption for the majority of users on this site.
