Does anyone consider that there might be a large number of the people that consider themselves to be centrists are near the actual center, and that everyone dunking on them is imagining center of our current Overton window? I think about that a lot. (Not the guy in the meme, just in general)

I mean, even if not, why do both sides shit on them instead of trying to bring them closer to their side?

Do we not want to make change? Because you need people for that. Are we just concerned about being correct? Because that does nothing to solve our problems.

The problem with leftists (and I say this as a leftist) is they resort to name calling of anyone who disagrees with them. Instead of listening to their point of view and trying to convince them otherwise. There's a real "othering" going on.

Who are the centrists even. I am a pro capitalist and I am extremely pro universal healthcare and education in addition to free market economy. It seems what was meant by „centrist” is conservatives in the context of American politics.

Which primo is USA centric and secondo idk if even is a good definition of the word in that narrow context.
