The Trump Presidency 2.0

I don’t think any of them are centrists.

lol. I don’t get worked up about what is happening in other states, or the other side of the country. However it is easy to say, “I don’t want that…” saying that, is not the same as being perpetually outraged over what some idiot does in Portland or NYC.

Laissez-faire exceptionalism, got it.
 
Ok, what percentage of your last ballot was Republican?

I disagree with @ThunderHorse on this one, the same as you do, but the question of "how does a democrat centrist vote" is prescient. Democrats (historically, anecdotally, by the numbers, whatever) don't stray from party lines often, even those that consider themselves "centrist".

In my personal experience, people who say they're "centrist" on either side of the aisle still vote down-ballot for their party.
You see, I haven't moved anywhere except maybe on gun rights and abortion. What has moved has the Democratic party. Anyone who currently brands themselves a centrist may be a 2025 centrist...but I'm a 2005 centrist. A 2025 centrist is a 2005 liberal.

Well, you'll have your shot in '28. Although it's going to be tough- well-known Democratic Centrists Newsom, AOC, and Pete Buttigeg will make that a super tough choice.

I love how far left loons are branding themselves centrists to the point that you're calling them Centrists. Newsom is in a bit of a rebrand, but make no mistake he isn't a centrist at all. Maybe on the Nancy Pelosi/San Francisco scale. But no, none of those people are centrists. Sinema was a centrist, got run out of town. Gallego somehow is figuring out that being a Senator from Arizona actually requires you to vote a certain way and not be a shill, or maybe it was the only way to stay elected in his district.

So I guess when it comes to centrists, how are we defining them. Because the spectrum moved, as @Marauder06 likes to say, I never moved. The party did.
