By "centrist" you mean "someone between the moderate right Dems and the extreme right Reps"?

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
