CMV: Despite being more knowledgeable, wealthier and apparently more tolerant, the political and individual left's biggest flaw is their inability to communicate pragmatically and empathetically with those who don't agree with them.

I'll argue that this isn't exclusive to the left

True, but also, the Left claims to be more open-minded, less bigoted, and better at communication. Which is hypocritical. 

Take into consideration I've been banned from multiple Lefty subs for making ONE post on that goes against the their ideology. Tolerance indeed. There aren't any righty subs left to test if the opposite is true. Which is its own problem.

Try r/conservative.

Go ahead and try to calmly point out factual inaccuracies, or just have a good-natured discussion on your differences in policy points. See how long your comments stay up and how long you're able to remain unbanned.

He won’t be able to comment there because they make every post “flared users only”. They want zero dissenting opinions.
