Do leftists, Dems and "progressives" have a superior moral compass?

I would merely like to break down the logic of this.  It's no secret that leftists, Dems and "progressives" pride[*] themselves on having a moral compass superior to that of their political opponents, i.e., the basket of deplorables.  It's also no secret that leftists, Dems and "progressives" are the majority in big coastal cities (NYC, LA, San Fran, etc.).  Does this mean that, according to leftists, Dems and "progressives," the greater the proximity to a big coastal city, the greater the reliability of one's moral compass?

Something tells me there are some severe Dunning-Kruger issues going on here, among leftists, Dems and "progressives."  (For now, that is.)

More where that came from.

(If they're so intellectually and morally superior, why haven't they discovered and promoted philosophy for children yet?)

[*] - Clearly I'm speaking here of a false pride, not legitimate Aristotelian or Randian pride.

[Addendum: As you listen to how Dems/lefties/progs [DLPs] defend abortion rights - in terms of the right of a woman to control her own life - keep in mind that this is how radical pro-freedom people like Rand defend our rights against government controls in general -- i.e., our lives aren't the government's or the demos's to dispose of.  It would appear that, given their lack of philosophical integration, the DLPs are being rather selective in their invocation of freedom on this topic.  Why (the lack of philosophical integration)?]
