The only character that was every even remotely political was Elaine. In a couple of episodes we saw that she was pro-abortion and anti-fur. In another episode she showed political correctness in being militantly anti-smoking. However, often, these views were used as straight lines for Jerry or George.

IMHO, during the good seasons, the show was the funniest ever on television. There were a few seasons where the writers got lazy and the show suffered.

Could it be that the Seinfeld liberal is simply someone who is totally selfish and self-absorbed - like the characters on the show?

I think that's exactly what the author is getting at.

When Elaine rips into Georges girl wearing the fur coat, the girl shoots back.."Do you eat meat?"

Elaine: "I eat fish!"

Jerry:" Oh boy here we go!
