tbh I feel like ppls definitions of moderate can vary by a lot. like im not neutral on many things (& tend to hold strong opinions) but i dont support a lot of extreme ideas. ig id still consider myself pretty moderate tho =p
I'm moderate compared to a tankie, extremist compared to a neoliberal, and absolutely cooked compared to a MAGA type. It's hard to be "moderate" when the issues of our day are mostly about who ought to have basic rights.
