Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

“You are an abolitionist, ain’t you?”
“As to that, I cannot so readily answer. If by abolitionist you mean a zealot, I am none; but if you mean a man, who, being a man, feels for all men, slaves included, and by any lawful act, opposed to nobody’s interest, and therefore, rousing nobody’s enmity, would willingly abolish suffering (supposing it, in its degree, to exist) from among mankind, irrespective of color, then am I what you say.”
“Picked and prudent sentiments. You are the moderate man, the invaluable understrapper of the wicked man. You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right.”

RESULT: Omaha's Republican Mayor Jean Stothert just lost to her Democratic challenger John Ewing. Stothert, who was running for a fourth term, resorted to anti-trans ads and messaging around who uses bathrooms in the final stretch of the campaign. Ewing will be Omaha's first Black mayor.

Chair of DuPage Dems here… I believe we are leading in 44 of 45 partisan races countywide, and that includes total sweeps in several townships that haven’t had a Dem in decades if ever

Since Trump's election, many Democratic pundits & elites have indicated it's time to stand down. They think the “Resistance” of protest movements from 2016-2020 went too far, & people should now fight less hard. I call these people "The Desistance”— they’re wrong! www.newsweek.com/anti-trump-r...

Since Trump's election, many pundits, consultants, and Democratic elites have indicated it's time to stand down.

i can see how you would come to this conclusion if your job didn't require you to ever be correct

So it turns out Joe Biden can use his vast power in norms-defying ways to oppose Republican intentions when he wants to.

Fwiw she is pretty widely disliked even by her GOP colleagues. She’s all over the place. Messy. Fights with them too. This is the most attention she has gotten in ages despite her many attempts, hence the differences in tack some have taken in this whole brouhaha. She really craves it. It’s weird
