Centrism is a relative position, and the topic is United States politics.
In which case you made a quite the ill-informed assumption in your previous post in thinking that my criticism came from having a political position that was between those parties - a place were I even explicitly had said there was a lot less room than some seem to think there is - rather than one which is to the left of both were there is way more political room for people to be in, at least if one's political vision isn't limited by the very peculiar political blinkers pushed in the American political and media culture to make people think that what you have in the US is the full scope of politics.
That American Centrism you accused me of being part of is much more to the right than almost anything but the Far Right in Europe were even mainstream Right parties are generally to the left of the US Democracts.
