"Moderate" and "centrist" usually just boils down to "either left or right, but being afraid to speak it aloud due to social consequences and/or group dynamics"

And yes, it's left *or* right, not just 'right'.
With leftist views, it just looks different: "it would be great if we could have <leftist thing>, but others will never agree / that's not economically feasible / that will never happen / etc.", because there the fear is not disapproval of morals (like with right-wing views) but criticisms of practicality
