Nazi-ism, White Supremacy, and in general the Alt-Right do not represent opposing political ideals that the left would just prefer not to deal with in a typical political manor. They represeny hatred and the desire to silence entire groups of people through violence for no reason other than particular facts of birth. They want to carve a place in the world for their race and their race only.

Personally, I embrace the right. I embrace the idea that government should have no place instructing religious leaders on who they can and cannot marry. I embrace the idea that largely leaving individuals to collect their income for their work and spend or donate as they choose rather than mandate taxation has a place in political discorse. I believe my right-leaning family members can have a solid conversation with me about our differences, which may end with my complete rejection of their ideals while still allowing them to have their voice heard, and at the end of the day I enjoy those a hell of a lot more than I enjoy my left-leaning circle-jerks with friends which I get very frustrated with.

What I have a problem with is equating valid opposing ideology with hate speech. These people swarming Charlottesville have nothing to say of value. They are violent thugs spouting false science that has been around for centuries. They have nothing of value to add to political discourse, and the fact that outlets like Twitter and Facebook have allowed them to spread their disgusting ideology on their platforms is nothing short of disgraceful.
