I actually love this definition!
A "centrist" when talking about a layperson might suggest them having an amorphous, indifferent position.
In our here local politics, a "centrist" politician is strongly assumed to be a political prostitute, a puppet in search of a generous master.
I take a "far centrist" to mean compromise-seeking in a deliberate way, which is a fun concept to consider.
- wenc 2y agoMy circles, centrist politics just mean "complex" case-by-case politics. By this definition, most reasonable people are centrist. We are forced to pick a team to get the numbers but our positions can and do differ from the party line.
