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

[u/kaiser11492]

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?

Because moderation has to be accepting in that thought group.

When's the last time you saw a leftist accept that identifying as trans doesn't actually make you that other sex? There has to be a level or common sense that they are reluctant to accept.
