Many people believe that a moderate is one that lacks an opinion. They disregard moderate political thought, and claim the holders are simply holding their "finger in the wind" before stating how they stand. Moderates were once the backbone of politics in America, when politicians sought compromise and consensus, thereby naturally steering our country to a middle ground. But in the last few decades, the politics of extremism has lead to multiple litmus tests and the claim of 50%+1 being a mandate (sometimes 49% or even 47%) with corruptible systems systematically exploited for narrow individual benefit. Extremists, from both sides, sway much control over their parties while most Americans share Hamilton's concern for the "mischief of factions" that has become our two-party win-lose political landscape. Most American's, myself included, want government to find a 'middle ground', win-win, half-a-piece solution for major issues, that maximizes the satisfaction of the greatest number of compromise oriented citizens, (which will aggravate the radical, vocal, and ego-centric spokesmen from both extremes).
