The Political Spectrum: Moderates [ASL]

What does it actually mean to be a political moderate — and are moderates the same as centrists? Spoiler: they're not.

In this episode of The Political Spectrum, we break down what moderatism actually looks like in policy and practice, how the Overton Window shapes what gets called "moderate," and why the American definition of center doesn't match the global one.

Featured examples include international examples, American politicians, and the most recent U.S. President who was a moderate. The answers might shock you.
