they've been "putting out moderates" in the sense of Dems who are Republican-lite on the issues, but who are still highly divisive and hyper-partisan and alienate the avg person on the other side (where i used terms like "snobby, elite, etc").

My point is that there's different kinds of "moderate"

There's ppl who are more progressive on the issues but less divisive with the people (and able to work with opponents for everyone's benefit)

And then theres the ppl who are basically republicans w/ a twist (my "pro-choice" quip) but thrive on the grandtsanding finger-wagging mudslinging nonsense that makes for a terrible leader.
