@shanwyn Not sure where my comment went, but I'll try again:
At least in the United States, where are these moderate conservatives? When they are needed to help the extremists, they always go along. For example, Murkowski opposed Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court and Collins opposed Barrett, but both needed to oppose each in order to keep them off the bench. It is a tactic known as "catch and release." On the other hand, I can think of plenty of times where what Democrats wanted to do was thwarted or watered down by Manchin, Sinema, or both.
Maybe the problem is that, quite frankly, a lot of Democrats would be the CDU if they were in places like Germany where that was an option, and there just really isn't anywhere to go. Barack Obama had a record to the right of Nixon, and it wasn't even close. The moderates spent over 30 years constantly moving halfway to the right to the point where a lot of what they propose would make Reagan blush.
As far as "working together" goes, it depends on what they're working towards.
