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.
are you a moderate then? it sounds like you need a better vocabulary/better definitions of political actions.
in real terms im left of center so in american terms im super left and in republican terms im a no good communist .what I want is regulation, a progressive tax structure, and decent social programs.
so why would you call yourself a centrist, when you’re not?
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.
that’s not a centrist.
to you, but others feel different and again globally it really is. Yes a left of the center overall but close to the center. In the us im a crazy leftist but we are way skewed right at least as far as who gets elected. So if I was in congress then yes I would be akin to bernie but plop him and me in most parlements and we would be close to center. for now anyway as it feels like the rest of the world is following the us lead in leaning right overall.
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
