Well some of us happen live outside of the US where true centrist options still exist. Additionally, just because the US doesn’t have a centrist part and one side has decided to go full Nazi doesn’t mean you can’t still be centrist. Being a centrist doesn’t mean saying both sides are at fault or finding a position between both sides. It just means your views lie somewhere in between the traditional left and the traditional right in either or both social and economic topics. As an example, I don’t support communism, but that doesn’t mean I dont believe in social safety nets.
The level of idiocy from some people here who can’t seem to think outside the media created brands in the US is just sad. Centrism has an actual definition that is not your extremist media created bs. Go educate yourself.
Having the smug to say “educate yourself”, only to be shown articles about the topic and refusing to engage with them is exactly the kind of brain rot I’d expect from a “centrist”
Then maybe don’t comment on the US environment just like you’re harping at me to not comment on the environment outside the US. Centrism here is a brand just like dem or repub, summarized in a nutshell as “I support everything Republicans are doing but don’t want the stigma of being known as a Republican.”

That’s a lot of words to say “I enable fascism”
