Because no matter what your beliefs (and that is not mine) it doesn't matter at DU as long as you 'don't break the RULES' and click on ads frequently.

The test upthread is not very good BlindTiresias Nov 2014 #20
You're missing one of the largest groups - moderates. Rex Nov 2014 #26
No they shouldn't because the term is utterly meaningless in practical definition other than maybe TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #75
I have to disagree with that, I think you are talking about Centrists - which are not moderates imo Rex Nov 2014 #76
I've seen neigh onto zero push back from "moderates" as they have been conflated and cooped TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #82
'Very liberal' probably is the best fit here; but I would call myself a Europaean socialist LeftishBrit Nov 2014 #27

I find the poll a kick in the pants. Most of the Conservatives among us rhett o rick Nov 2014 #43
I noticed that too. Cognitive Dissonance? RiverLover Nov 2014 #51
Conservative is an option. The problem is that Conservatives have a bad name and for good reason. rhett o rick Nov 2014 #53
...but "Moderate" is not brooklynite Nov 2014 #66
I think one should be able to commit between "Slightly Liberal" and "Conservative". rhett o rick Nov 2014 #67
Because it is a temperament rather than an ideology at this point and has been rendered meaningless TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #78
So someone who isn't moderate is choosing to define moderate... brooklynite Nov 2014 #83
Meaningless. What is "extreme" and what isn't? There is no standard candle and as such becomes TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #88
