    I’m slightly-centrist left and very very much believe that universal healthcare is the only way to do healthcare well.

    I don’t think you’ll find many centrists believing what is states there unless it’s about the US because in the US, centrists is just racist Nazi’s undercover.

    The US always has been an extremely hard line right for decades. Even “leftist” politicians there have opinions that may make a right wing politician in Europe blush l, so what can you expect from “US centrists” except more right wing bullshit?

    Don’t conflate UD centrists with centrists elsewhere, they’re not the same

      Im Australian, I conflate all centrists as the same. There is no middle ground to be had afaic.

      You either support capitalism or you don’t at this stage. Centrists are right-wing in that regard.
