How did the definition of "moderate" come to be "screwing over the poor"? It has never made sense. Like, the "moderate" position is to support payday lenders. Why? That's not moderate, it's extremist. Moderate should be, you know, what PEOPLE support.
Plenty of folks at the time and now think Democrats have to do that sort of moderate right politicking to win... because US politics has shifted hard to the right over the past few decades. Clinton's "3rd Way" was how the Dems collaborated in that shift.

I'm not a political expert. I just know what I see. I'm not sure collaboration is the right word for failed attempts at bipartisan governance. I will say one thing: Trickle Down Economics is now a proven failure, shout it to the skies, it was all a bunch of lies. Reagan is dead.

Respect, just noting how politics has shifted hard right. Most of that is because of the right wing media ecosystem and dividers like Gingrich etc., but Democrats also share blame for not working hard enough to push it back left to where it was in the 70s.
