so why would you call yourself a centrist, when you're not?
when the extremes respond to you as being aweful what else can you be. I support biden and democrats because I have lived through republican in power and I would rather make small progress than go backwards. Again globally im left of center I would says.
that's not a centrist.
to you, but others feel different and again globally it really is. Yes a left of the center overall but close to the center. In the us im a crazy leftist but we are way skewed right at least as far as who gets elected. So if I was in congress then yes I would be akin to bernie but plop him and me in most parlements and we would be close to center. for now anyway as it feels like the rest of the world is following the us lead in leaning right overall.
no, feelings don't have a place in word definitions.
I don't know if English is your native language or not, but this isn't how it works.
True which is why I am left of center globally but close enough to center to be a centerist. Im certainly more center than left. I think free markets are fine if properly regulated (something the us has not done since the 70's) and if they have competition (no monopolies or companies using infrastructure that just can't be duplicated like utilities) and if they are not to important (like education and healthcare). In the us though that puts me pretty left of center. More left than center but it would not be the case in 70's america. Pretty sad really.
