6. So if they are "moderates" what is Pelosi?

So sick of this antique labels they feel they must still use in the MSM news. When the political climate has shifted so much. They lazily throw out the word "moderate" for any rep that is to the right of the status quo for Democrats.....No matter where that line falls. Just like they use the same word for any Republican to the left of their status quo, for instance someone who doesn't believe Trump won, and backs Biden's infrastructure bill...but still want the big tax cut windfall in Trumps bill, and still push disinformation on vaccinations, and choice for women.

These three are radical conservative corporatists. Who's real concern is to keep their donations flowing.

Even the interpretation of the word "moderate" has shifted right in the last decades.
