We need moderates.
Without capable, responsible folks who can find balanced, reasonable policy that appeals to a wide swath of the country, we are left with dramatic political theater.

What rubbish. Many of the most effective legislators in American history weren't moderates. Ted Kennedy is the most obvious example.

What a strange read of a comment. I didn't say that only moderates should exist or can effectively make policy.

There is no connection, logical or otherwise, between having moderates and finding balanced, reasonable policy.Historically plenty of non-moderates pols have been great at making compromises. What we need is fewer nihilists. Talk to your friends in the GOP about that problem.

Do you think moderates should have no space in the political discourse? Asserting that there should be a space for moderates isn't asking to take away a voice from those who are not. It's simply staying we need a more complete spectrum of voices.
