The topic of our next discussion: patriotism. Is it different from nationalism  is there a place for patriotism in modern leftist thought?
What can you further tell me about patriotism?
Patriotism and nationalism are bad things, when you care too much about the country it's called jingoism. Leftists are too easily offended by nationalism.
People belong to different political parties are all different even if they belong to the same party, so it is not good to assume that just because somebody is a liberal they are easily offended. You should get to know people who belong to other political parties so that you can gain a better understanding of what they believe.
