Such a retarded and bad faith take every time I see it. Centrists don't hardline every issue down the middle. The entire point of being centrist literally means you don't hardline at all to either side. If you ask them how they feel about this extremist theoretical dichotomy, ofc they're going to agree with you on "yeah they should".

This doesn't mean they also agree on immigration, financial policies, abortion or take your pick. To subscribe yourself as a democrat or liberal is to say you agree with and endorse that entire line of thought, and any solution to problems they come up with. Centrists would rather take what they feel optimal to the situation and ascribe their perceived pragmatism. Your reductionist propaganda bullshit is just as bad as Bush stating you're either with us or the terrorists, as the other said.
