- The idea of "moderate" positions is entirely a bullshit framing intended to try to get people to back off what they want, or accept something more regressive as a "compromise". A lot of policy decisions are, in fact, actually binary yes or no questions.
- my kingdom for anyone on the “dems should take culturally moderate positions” to explain what this actually means in practice? www.thebulwark.com/p/hard-calls...
- It genuinely feels like a "culturally moderate position" is something like "I like a sports team or musical act a normal amount" rather than "I support the dehumanization of minorities only so far" which is both evil and cowardly.
