Most people calling themselves centrists are either so privileged that they never needed to learn about politics because they will most likely be the beneficiaries of the political system or they are so uneducated that they never even figured out how to inform themselves correctly.

Centrists usually just support the dominant force of a given system which often boils down to seeking to find compromises between left and right wing ideologies, something that doesn’t work so well when a big part of the conservative platform in most countries is the hate and discrimination of certain minorities.

In bike cuck’s defense, this is edited.

There’s a lot of people in the center that feel alienated by all the vocal lunatics on the far ends of both sides.

Not that multi-party democracy is a fix on its own, but coalition governments can sometimes do a better job representing people than “round up to L or R or GTFO”
