Good. Anyone described as a "moderate" in the US is actually a conservative at best. Anyone described as a "conservative" is actually a fascist at best.

It seems many described as "left" in the USSA are conservatives too.

I hate this divisive bullshit. Democracies require pluralities. You need to be a big tent party to govern.

Reality check: Repubs are trying to elect an insurrectionist promising to be a dictator. I'm sorry facts are divisive, I don't like the situation either.

Sorry. how does AOC defeating democratic moderate in a primary impact a republican getting elected. I don't think moderate D's or voting R on the presidential ballot. A moderate Democrat is still voting democrat.

The most divisive people in politics don't want that big tent to be a governable coalition. If you appeal to big tent politics they start trying to incite violence including political subjugation of the same opponents that you're trying to appeal to. You'll see them around.
