By "centrist" you mean "someone between the moderate right Dems and the extreme right Reps"?
Harris’s Hope: Getting Right-Leaning Voters to Shift to the Left
"Democrats see a narrow opening to peel away center-right voters bothered by abortion bans and by the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol."
"Ms. Harris and her allies have made persuasion of moderate and even right-leaning voters a central aspect of their closing strategy"
Yup. It's one of the least representative and most corrupt so-called modern democracies in the world.
Good question. That's the problem with labeling shit by a term that gets hard to nail down instead of expressing the intent behind your usage of the word. My definition of a centrist (the unwarpped version) is someone in the middle of left and right, but everyone on the Internet hears in the middle of Dems and GOP, which puts them quite to the right.
The more we use labels that are constantly evolving the less we can communicate effectively
