Moreover, most people realize that working with a political party is more effective. Nearly all indie and 3rd party candidates lose, some (like Nader, Gary Johnson and Jill Stein) are spoilers. All indies in the Senate caucus with a party. #mepolitics
It is nearly impossible for a functional moderate to survive a primary from either party.
Moderate is a voice that is needed in our policial discourse and no longer valued by the big 2. If you think a moderate is a spoiler, put forward a more electable candidate.

Yeah, that's simply untrue, certainly in Maine. There are plenty of elected officials who are not far left or far right. #mepolitics
Local level or federal delegation?

It feels like the parties are putting forth candidates that are increasingly polarized...but that also could be a perception from the outside vs one from within the parties.

I disagree. In many ways one of the problems with parties is they tend to moderate (move to the center) candidates who I think could win with a well articulated aspirational vision. Obviously there are exceptions. #mepolitics
I don't know that the sentiments are mutually exclusive. The parties feel like they have moved, particularly the GOP, and that leaves a bigger space in the middle to compare moderation in.
I’d further note that I’m 100% ok with third parties and indies running and that they should not have ballot obstacles greater than the two main parties. I’m in a party to work with like minds to run exceptional candidates and build winning capacity and alliances. #mepolitics
