Because the word “Centrist” or “Moderate” is a meaningless word that is only used to capture politically illiterate masses into believing they are “reasonable”.
It’s a dying term that people are realizing doesn’t mean anything.
The most accurate definition of “Centrist” today would be “is vague and refuses to talk about actual policy”. And probably gets donations from an Israeli PAC.
Online. Definitely. Talk to your average normie that doesn’t pay attention to politics. They’ll call themselves “centrist” or “moderates”. Actually ask them about policy though; you’ll find a lot of them are almost entirely aligned with the fundamentals of “the far left”. And by “the far left” I of course mean basic DSA right policy positions.

I find most “centrists” are conservatives and reactionaries who are trying to start shit online.
