Liberals and conservatives aren't the only 2 things you can satirize.

True. But they are also the only groups upon whom you can hope to affect(effect?) Change through satire. A moderate usually doesn't have enough logical fallacies in their philosophy to make them worth ridicule. Or rather, such ridicule comes across as bland and definitely has little to no entertainment value.

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

Effect. And my point was less that moderates exist (although the thought did cross my mind) an more that there are things you can ridicule about people that have nothing to do with their position on the political spectrum.
