You are right. There are many "moderates" controling opposition politics, backed by "pundits" who, no matter how many times are proven wrong, continue speaking from the realm of theory as if there were no sense of urgency.
They go enthusiastically to a "dialogue table" that we know ignores the urgent needs of the people. They are tricked once and again and nothing much happens, until the next dialogue. It's a very annoying vicious cycle.
