    Funny. I call myselft a centerist and don’t do that. Progressive/leftists don’t consider me progressive leftist because Im not in lockstep with everything the particular leftist/progressive believes in and they are right. Im left of center which means im firmly a democrat as republicans are no were near center at all. If someone is saying both sides I don’t think they are anywhere near to center. Its like saying both sides with the ukraine/russia thing.

            when the extremes respond to you as being aweful what else can you be. I support biden and democrats because I have lived through republican in power and I would rather make small progress than go backwards. Again globally im left of center I would says.

          Centrist means you favour the status quo, and generally obstruct progress. What you’ve described is not centrism, unless I guess your country already has those things.

          And even then that’s a very literal interpretation of centrism, and not at all what it’s come to mean
