In politics everybody sucks. Well almost, David didn't say anything bad about the crazy centrists yet! https://twitter.com/davidshor/status/1048493528815493120 …

Moderates are the dumbest of them all! At least in the US. I'm sure people who vote for ALDE-style parties in Europe are more educated than average.pic.twitter.com/nSawVoi2xY
In US, moderates mostly means people who are not so interested in politics, not people who considered the options and considered them all dodgy by themselves. Try adding political interest as covariate in regression and see (e.g. in ANES/GSS).

In general I think it's telling that scientists in highly g-loaded fields and people at elite universities that sort by SAT scores are wildly disproportionately leftist. I'm not saying it's an argument that leftists are right about things, but the pattern is pretty clear.

It'd be really weird if smart people *weren't* more leftist, given how g-loaded openness is.https://twitter.com/davidshor/status/980238259954515973 …

I used to think it was more telling until I realized how fucked up academics are in general, and which kind of persons academia attracts. After that, I was a lot less impressed by this argument. Now a days, the political climate causes the result almost itself...

Mind you that many measures of openness rely on items that include items about aspects of political leftism. So in a way, it's an artificial result, consequence of sneaky bias in the test construction. There's a few other cases like that (RWA measure, for instance).

That definition was from the chart I linked to. In general basically all political science research you'll see uses a pretty similar adjective approach because it's short and something you can put on surveys.
