Moderates can usually see issues from all points of view. It's frustrating trying to have a discussion with someone who thinks there is only one correct view, and everyone else is not worth listening to.
I think this kind of view doesn't match up with reality. A person who is liberal or conservative doesn't become incapable of having a discussion with other people who have opposing views. Meanwhile in my experience most moderates have this holier-than-thou approach where they seem to consider themselves superior to both sides. Never mind the constant bringing up of the horsehoe theory or the fallacy of thinking that every side has merit so the middle is the best option (cue image of Hitler saying he wants to gas every Jew and Churchill saying to stop it, and the moderate saying we can meet in the middle -- an extreme example to be sure, but it matters in day-to-day life too)
And yes, I still have yet to hear a good argument for what the Trump administration is doing except from his tight core of supporters, the constant gerrymandering from the GOP, or how Roger Ailes admitting he created Fox News as propaganda for conservative politicians -- none of which the liberal side of politics have been doing. Also, look at this link and compare the votes on party lines: https://np.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/2kaubu/just_a_reminder_of_what_the_senate_was_doing_the/cljns3q/ Oh yes, totally the same This is why moderates are frustrating. It always ends up feeling like some edgy 14 yr old thinking they have discovered some hidden depth that the adults have missed, missing the reality and really coming off as just intellectually dishonest. At best, it's just like TC who ends up being lazy.
