I've never met anybody in real life who considers themselves to be a centrist. Maybe they're sort of rare in the US - I don't know. But the ones online are so weird. In everyway imaginable - they seem soulless, heartless, and awful. Yet they believe every single take they have is highly principled, well-reasoned and well-thought out. But they're wrong. Sometimes they are stupendously wrong to the point they have reached Not the Onion territory.

My favorite centrist is Noah Smith. After October 7th - although he didn't know anything about Israel or Palestine - he came up with what he thought was a workable solution.
