I believe that most people agree the Left tends to attract idealists. While that has advantages, it also has disadvantages. Many extreme viewpoints are born out of what people wish were true and nothing else. If you dare say something that doesn't fully support their perfect picture ideal, you're a hostile combatant to them. Definitely a lot of idealists who could stand to mature some.
