    centrism is real, and like schrodingers cat, it’s both alive and dead until you look inside the box.

    Someone who claims themselves to be a centrist, is often miserable. Someone who claims themselves to be socially progressive, or economically conservative (for example) is often best defined as a “centrist” since they often toe the line, and will in many cases, cross over the line depending on policy, and how they feel that year. These people are more analogous to swing voters more than anything.
