There is a particular hubris in expressing self-professed political views that fall in this absolute narrow gap between progressive and conservative values; that you have tweaked your political portfolio so well that you are able to fill the sweet spot of moderate that absolves themselves from any division or fervor of either side.
And yet there exists a space for militant moderation; a home occupied by those who neither own or disavow political activities because it doesn't fit their political wheelhouse no matter what the issue. They're the self-professed neutral centrist that 'takes the best of both worlds' and takes responsibility for none.
We may as well call people like that the Quito egg, because they've transcended gravitational pull on both sides.
