    “Moderates” is always such a silly term to me. They’re not actually moderate; their beliefs are corporate extremism.

      Its not even a real thing. There is no contingent of voters who will vote for “means-tested subsidies to buy health insurance from 1 of 50 marketplaces based on what your family’s expected healthcare needs are and employer contribution”, but won’t vote for free healthcare. There is no “help Israel do only a little genocide” vote.

      But every time, cable news would dupe the poor man into voting for what some imaginary moderate wanted instead of policy that materially benefits everyone.
