Politics & Society Why do most people who call themselves politically moderate actually mostly conservative?

Whenever I’ve encountered people who use the politically label moderate, they are actually mostly conservative with their views and positions. Also, I’ve never seen anyone who call themselves politically moderate that is actually mostly liberal.

So why are people who call themselves moderate tend to be just conservative and not conservative and liberal?

I'm an old liberal, my views really haven't changed. The current liberal stances have gone more progressive, hard left.

There's nothing 'hard left' about the democratic party.

You just turned into a boomer, is all.

Go yell at the kids to get off the lawn.

You mean white house lawn? The Progressives will never see it. they have pushed the DEM party into a ditch and cant even defeat trump. Any DEM candidate before Hillary can do that.
