Not really, at least not in American politics if you’ve been paying any attention to what both parties are saying.

I could be considered a centrist, I hold a pretty solid ammount of traditionally conservative opinions on some things, and a lot of liberal ones on others. I will absolutely never call myself a centrist though.

I disagree with the Democratic party on a lot of things, but I can overall at least see where they’re coming from, understand their beliefs, and while I don’t think that they are, I can concede that there’s a possibility that they may be right on those issues and I’m the one who is wrong. We can agree to disagree on those points.

On the other hand, my disagreements with the Republican party tend to be about things that I consider tantamount to genocide and other horrific human rights abuses. Issues that I am not willing to give them an inch on. Even if many Republicans dont, or at least claim to not have those sorts of opinions, they’ve still officially thrown their lot in with the types of people who loudly and openly proclaim that they want to commit those sorts of atrocities, and do little to nothing to rebuke those lunatics or distance themselves from them, which means that at best they don’t care about those issues and at worst are silently totally in support of these terrible acts, and I cannot accept any position along that spectrum. There is absolutely nothing on the Republican party platform that I agree with enough to turn a blind eye to the serious issues I have with them. Those issues are so repulsive to be that they totally invalidate any good they say or do (which really isn’t much, they pretty much only pay lip service to the sorts of issues I agree with them on while often doing the exact opposite)

And saying that you’re a centrist implies that you fall somewhere between the two parties. What’s in between “meh” and “deplorable?” That’s not really a place I’d want to be.
