It's true

why are you moderate you know these things, you confuse me inviso

I agree with a fuckton of progressive policies, more so especially after seeing how broken the system is. The main reason I consider myself a moderate though is that I'm also a realist when it comes to the electorate, and I'd rather see minor, incremental change that at least moves us on the path towards improvement in a way that scorched earth "extreme left" (I know it's not actually extreme, but in the eyes of the vast majority of the electorate, it is) will absolutely never do. It's mainly a strategic thing; I'd love to be an idealist, but idealism doesn't work, so I go moderate because it's the only way of actually standing a chance at progressive policy getting passed at SOME point in the future.
