But this I am against, despite voting on moderators if they must exist,
or at best am a dimpled chad:

Even if Jimbo chooses the moderators (and if we have them),
I would strongly suggest avoiding controversial people
(most famously Larry and The Cunctator, also others) --
a single opposition should be enough to derail a moderator
(not counting the case where somebody opposes every moderator).
