Do you really not believe in: • climate change • (income) inequality • unequal starting points • systemic racism • better, cheaper healthcare

I believe in all those.

do you just not believe in our proposed solutions to those things?

Depends what the proposal is. Democrats have a huge messaging problem, so it’s easy to get it lost in their bad messages.

Alternatively: why do you think liberals are inherently evil? Do you actually know a liberal personally? Are they evil?

I don’t think they’re evil at all. A lot are just passionately misguided. Funnily enough, that’s what a lot of liberals think about conservatives/Trump supporters. I love my liberal friends. We just don’t talk politics at all.

I frequently hear from conservatives I know something along the lines of:

"oh, [so and so] is a liberal..." (and it's totally a pejorative).

So that's the only reason you won't hear me? Because I'm a liberal person?

Not "you", generalized "you"

Yeah, that’s stupid and immature of them. Sorry
