Voting blue doesn't make a city liberal.
And Birmingham's white neighborhoods aren't particularly blue. In fact many in-town neighborhoods are red-leaning, which is really rare in the U.S. these days. Granted, those neighborhoods are liberal in the context of Alabama, but they're hardly liberal by U.S. standards.
It's like asking whether Tuscaloosa is liberal. For Alabama standards, yes, extremely liberal. For national standards, it's probably one of the most conservative major college towns.
