You appear to be saying that it's bad to be an intentional moderate, which is in fact one of the main points of this essay.

Sometimes, you can’t be a moderate and need yo choose a side

I've always found it strange that people choose sides. I'm surprised more people don't think that all politicians are a bunch of corrupt idiots and allow their critical thinking skills to a delegated to a political party. Make them work for your vote!

Agreed. Intentional moderation is always either dumb or badly-intentioned. But there are times in history when accidental moderation is also wrong. The 1940s where one of those times - the US was actually allied with the communists. This is also one of those times.

Insightful essay. A small counterpoint: I like to think of myself as a moderate. But it's a label I don't care to defend. Because while my values and ideals have largely remained the same (if anything, drifted to the right), many would now brand me a leftie. 1/2

So a moderate's dilemma is how to hold steadfast to certain imagined principles and ideals while not subjecting themselves to the whims and winds of the political moment and how one may be labeled by others. 2/2
