wish she could , but itd encourage witch hunting . <| sep |> No . Firstly , if you can think a shrieking lunatic that wants to restrict everything people can say or do is liberal then you don ' t know what liberal means . Liberalism and conservatism are not clubs undesirables can join and make their own by sheer numbers political parties are . The Democrats and the Republicans may indeed be swinging in new directions with the strange and danherous fools piling into them but nothing about the SJWs or the AltRight have anything at all to do with Liberalism or Conservatism . One noted difference , however . The Altright seems to be in the actual halls of power now whereas the SJW just shriek from the sidelines . I haven ' t seen one of these safespace SJW types as , say , the chief advisor to the president just numbskulls in academia . The altright , however , is right there in in the Oval office . And honestly ? I ' m less afraid or worried about some over privileged ass shrieking in her chair than a Nazi with real governmental power . Anyway , I ' m not sure how productive this discussion really is . I don ' t see any running for president in 2020 on the democratic ticket so no , I don ' t think it is or will be the face of liberalism or the democratic party .
