This is very important, because the current conservative M.O. is to amplify extreme voices on the left as a way of scaring moderates into the whacko-servative camp. They seek to amplify the feeling of alienation that moderate conservatives have in order to persuade them that the extremes (trumpists, fascists, etc.) are their only safe haven.

I don't believe in "moderate" positions for the sake of being moderate, but I think it's important not to continually amplify the polarization.
