Well, one thing centrists are extreme at is getting mad online. More outrage over this tweet than any for a while. I guess that's what happens when your whole thing is to smugly put yourself above criticism while sucking up to power. Hard to take any criticism whatsoever.

A centrist is the one who stands between the two extremes and tries to keep them from killing each other. After all, we either gotta live together or kill a bunch of people, and I’m strongly in favor of not killing people for disagreeing with me.

A centrist is someone who isn't authoritarian, libertarian, left-wing, or right-wing. It's someone who doesn't adhere to labels because both the left and the right have some good ideas (gun control is technically right-wing, for example)

In some ways centrists might be more reasonable than the extremes though, and they take the side of existing power not because they like it but because there is no reasonable alternative.

So, you're saying they think that what we have is the best possible system? That's depressing.
