You're a closeted Republican because you thought Mike Bloomberg was a good idea.

…..Some day I hope you will be brave enough to come out and let people accept you for who you actually are
I am a Moderate. The authors of that article are clearly Progressives, like you (you know, Liberals with expertise in applying Purity tests), that are disappointed and furious with Moderates that didn't join their cause and view all issues as black or white and never grey.
I interpret the article as opining:
1. Biden and his supporters are Moderates;
2. Moderates are least supportive of democracy;
3. Moderates are most supportive of authoritarianism;
4. Moderates are least supportive of free and fair elections;
5. Moderates are least supportive of civil rights.
Those things are not true about me nor anyone I have ever known that told me they are a Moderate. If it was true, I should vote for tRump, the candidate most aligned with all the things that article says about Moderates.
Ironically, provided Progressives could get their desired candidate at the helm, guys like you would be all for authoritarianism.
With regard to those poll questions dealing with altruism and social activism imbedded in the article, the purported responses of the Conservatives are either fraudulent or delusional, and anyone here that is acquainted with Conservatives knows that.
I do agree that Progressives are the most altruistic and socially active. My falling out with them is the practical application of their philosophy to the real world. By way of example:
Homeless advocates are altruistic people, but the application of their proposals to the real world does little more than perpetuate the homeless problem and the advocate's job security.
The current Alameda County DA is an example of Progressive proposals being applied to law an order. Her across the board dropping of gang and gun enhancements is making murder prosecutions harder to prove and prison terms commensurate with the crime harder to impose.
The friends of Jennifer Angel, the female Oakland bakery owner dragged to her death in a robbery, have said that she was a Progressive that would not have wanted her murderers punished in any conventional way. That is an example of real life application of Progressive ideals. I am sure Madame D.A. will carry out her wishes……if she isn't recalled first (110,000 signatures on recall petition). Oh, and Progressives, being against free and fair elections, are trying to change the recall rules in Alameda County to frustrate the recall.*
*Progressive Madame D.A. uses every page of the tRump playbook. First forcibly trying to remove a journalist (Emily Raguso, Berkeley Scanner) from a press conference and then later barring her. Like tRump has threatened to do to his enemies, she has initiated an unwarranted prosecution against Butch Ford, a political enemy and whistleblower on her corruption, who was formerly the best trial attorney in the office (now working at SF DA office). That case has now been put in the hands of the State Attorney General because of Madame D.A.'s extreme bias.
Progressives are nasty pieces of work when they get their hands on the levers of power.
*I have said a few times to people I know that voted for tRump, "Does it cause you any concern that the guy you voted for is the preferred candidate of White Supremacists?
To you I ask: Does it concern you who your allies on this board are?
