Staunch Moderates

The Staunch Moderates Intellectual Movement was born out of its founders’ belief that a new ideology was needed to address and combat the intellectual and political divide that has taken hold in our society over the past four years. The philosophy of the movement is rooted in the overarching principle of attempting to address each other with thoughtful moderation when confronting intellectual and political differences, rather than with self-centered extremism that dominates such discourse today. The movement’s missive is to find ways to always evaluate, negotiate, compromise and come to the most equitable conclusions and solutions as humanly possible, while understanding that hardly anything in life is simply black or white but many shades of gray. The movement strives not only to close this divisive gap, but also in turn to achieve both national and world peace. Staunch Moderates gained momentum during the 2020 Election year and throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. It began by campaigning its cause at 16 different national primaries by hosting a total of 23 social media-driven forums on the vital issues society has been facing. The movement produced and posted numerous video talk shows covering the major primaries, both the DNC and RNC conventions and the presidential debates.
