[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 5169629, member: 48469"] I think it probably is difficult for new folks to nail down who's a moderate and who's a "moderate" here in 2022 because there are: 1) Folks like [USER=73764]@Netsua 3:16[/USER] who say they're moderates only so they can tell themselves they're open minded (and they also believe the righteous hard left causes they support make them open minded by default), and then there are: 2) Folks who have policy and ideological preferences but aren't extremist one way or another, won't pledge allegiance to a political team and are interested in hearing what both sides have to say. The latter probably describes a huge chunk of the country. It just doesn't describe many people here since Current Events is the place to come for charged up political kicks. And not having an official team here can be relatively boring and sometimes even a little lonely. Both sides are unhappy with me at one time or another. It's all good in the hood, [USER=94207]@BlackFriday[/USER] . [/QUOTE]
