I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

    It depends on what you mean by being “centrist”. In America the Democratic party IS the centrist party. If it wasn’t for the small contingent of progressives in the Democratic party, they would actually just be a normal conservative party, but the party as a whole is still right of center, if not smack dab in the middle of it.

    On the other hand, the Republican party has fully embraced the extreme far right tenants of fascism and are merely arguing over who gets to be it’s leader. There is nothing “centrist” about them or their policies

    Typically in my experience, most people who say they are centrists aren’t moderates trying to find a balance, they are just conservatives who don’t want to feel guilty about voting for the fascist party.
