We can all agree here that we hate rethugs, right wing nut bags, tea partiers, etc etc... And I'm sure if asked we could construct a killer list of traits that we absolutely can't stand in our fellow right wing citizens that we have the misfortune of sharing the environment with. But let's face it we liberals aren't perfect either, well ok maybe we are close to it compared to them but you know what I mean. Scrutiny becomes much more difficult when the lens is turned on yourself. The question is simple. What traits do you often see in your fellow Liberals that you have difficulty with? These don't have to be universal traits by any means but they do have to be things that you see more in your fellow Liberal, or maybe in yourself, than you would see in others. And yes we are stereotyping here just to get that out of the way.
My 2 cents:
I agree that Liberals DO at times like to get on their high horses. I like to think this is because we are usually right, but there are times when I just cringe to hear a Liberal person in an argument approach his point of view with a complete lack of subtly and a whopping dollop of condescension.
The other that is mentioned bellow is the "nice" trait that I think some Liberals overdo. I think being "nice", or more specifically being compassionate, open minded and understanding, is one of the best Liberal traits. However I have to agree that sometimes when you are faced with something that is just downright wrong or when faced with someone who just isn't going to play by the rules you have to just say "you know what, fuck you".
I guess a third would be that sometimes Liberals are too easily offended, and almost seem to seek out offence.
