How is Mayor Pete a moderate?

Trump is not Jesus. Not even close. 

So I will put you down as agree Pete is not a moderate Dem. 

Trump says he is.
Many of Trump's flock says he is.
Take it up with them




Of course Mayor Pete's moderate. He's actually a Corporate Dem.
He's Military, He's Married, he's not for universal healthcare, and he's also a Christian.
God Bless Mayor Pete and his corporate donors.
It's my thought that because he is gay, you label him as NOT MODERATE.  The idea of them getting married makes him fringe. Correct?

Again POLICIES.....

The only thing I have seen that is a moderate with Pete is that he does not oppose full funding od the military and does not support Medicare for All. Every other policy issue he checks the liberal box. 

2 policy issues.....that is it. 

If 2 issues is all it takes....then I could call myself a moderate Republican.  LOL. 

"Moderate Republicans" don't forsake Christ and support Trump

I am simply trying to understand how he was given the label. 

It might be just as important to understand who applies the labels. What is moderate? Says who? Relative to what? 
Anyone left of Rush Limbaugh is not the definition of liberal, for instance; despite what he spends 3 hrs a day convincing himself. 

Seems to me it is more important to focus on what resonates with us, and what doesn’t; not on simplistic labels other people invent.   

We can be “conservative” on some issues and “liberal” or “moderate” on others. I believe most thinking people are. We are well served to avoid being bamboozled by labels. The same could be said about the obsession to bloviate about “trends”. 

It‘s a flawed exercise in relativity, and it promotes divisiveness. Pressed forward by vested interests who pose as experts.

No one mentioned Rush. No one claims Rush is a moderate. 

Of course people can and do have different policy positions. 

I am simply asking what issues is Pete not liberal on.  So far we got 2...military funding and Medicare for all. And no one has come up with anything else. 

Perhaps because so few are as tied down with labels as you.

You completely missed the analogy that I used Rush Limbaugh for, ... and the main point it emphasized about labels.   Smh

Perhaps you missed that I am asking about policies. What policies is he not far left on? 

No one believes Trump is a moderate. The base of the party does not want a moderate. 

The media keeps claiming Pete is a moderate. I do not agree.  And was trying to see if anyone has any information I have not seen. And as of yet...we have he supports military speeding and does not support Medicare for all. 

Perhaps he seems moderate to some in the democratic party when propped up against someone like Bernie.  Everything is relative ya know.  To a Republican he may not seem moderate at all but come on m2c he's not exactly fringe.  You and I both know fringe (ultra-liberal and ultra-conservative) on both sides and I'm sorry Mayor Pete just isn't fringe.
