CMV: Moderates get an unfairly bad rap

I'm a moderate, left moderate. I've voted Democrat my entire life, but I might vote for a Republican in the midterms and my hope is that Republicans win either the House or the Senate (but not both.)

I generally think my opinions and the opinions of most moderates are reasonable. The only area where I'm extreme is climate change (I think a lot of moderates support drastic action where climate change is concerned because it's an existential threat.) Besides that I want to reform the police, not defund them, I support the LGBTQIA+ movement, I have mixed feelings about CRT, I am against mandated political correctness and censorship, I believe everybody should have healthcare, food, water, and shelter and the government should provide it if necessary, I believe weed should be legal as well and everybody should have equal opportunity. 

Moderates are a very diverse group, so I can't speak for every moderate, but the positions I mentioned seem like fairly common moderate positions. All of them seem pretty reasonable. 

Yet we're anathema to many on the left and some on the right (I personally have experienced far more venom from leftists than I have from the right, although I've definitely experienced it from both.) It seems like some leftists hate moderates *more* than outright conservatives. 

I'll admit, there are some people that call themselves moderate because they can't be bothered to research the issues and take a stance on them. They want some of everything because they don't know much about anything. I understand why that would be frustrating. But most moderates identify as moderates because they've researched the issues and they like some aspects of both parties. Maybe they don't like how extreme the parties have become and they find their views are more middle of the road. I don't see what's wrong with that or why there's so much animosity towards moderates. I don't think it's deserved.

Expanding on what I said because I feel like I didn't make a strong enough case for moderates. I think moderates:

-Help ensure national stability and that things don't get too out of whack in any direction

-Offer an important alternative perspective to mainstream thought

-strengthen third parties so, potentially one day there will be more than two viable options.

The only issue you brought up that's remotely conservative is the crt boogeyman why the heck would you want a Republican house of Congress? None of your actual policy preferences would happen if that were the case.
