Realize a lot of minority voters in the south count as moderates compared to SF and Boston dems.
We also have plenty of examples around here - BnB, Hank, others who now vote D who used to vote R and who think of themselves as more middle of the road than you and I.
If people play this like moderates don't count, Dems will find that Blue Wave start slipping away.

I think this is the concern that the DCCC had in the district down here when they went after a Democratic candidate in a swing district. They don't want to scare away any moderates thinking about flipping from R to D.
