The problem is there is constantly less moderation in political positions in both parties

The Democrats are moderate. The most extreme "Democrat" I can think of right now is Bernie and he lost his election. And all he was mainly pushing for was Universal Healthcare - something literally EVERY OTHER FIRST WORLD NATION has. So even that isn't extreme in an expanded worldview. Democrats are moderate, maybe even center right-wing in the grand scheme of the world.

The Republicans are extreme. I can't even pick one Republican that is extreme. Boeburt, Greene, Trump, DeSantis, Abbott. That's just the ones that stick in the news the most because of their insane choices and behaviors. Their party literally attacked the capital and tried to overthrow the government and install their own leader. They are as extreme as they can be without causing an all out civil war.

It's consistent and repeated events that show this.

What are you even talking about about?

The world isn’t black and white either

What is this even in reference to? Nothing the other guy has said is a black or white interpretation - it's an observation of reality. Don't just give platitudes, actually give explains and evidence.
