Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

You’re thinking of Neutralians from Futurama, not centrists.
Centrists are simply people who don’t subscribe to the party platform of any particular political party. They still have opinions on certain issues and they still vote. If the DNC came out tomorrow in support of something I know nothing about, I wouldn’t automatically start supporting that thing, nor decry people who don’t. I’d try to find out as much as I can about it, and if I still feel ignorant, I don’t vote on it.
Source: Me, I’m a centrist.
You’re describing an independent.
Centrists explicitly try to place themselves in the middle of two sides, which given how insane and authoritarian one side often is, makes even the middle point of those views unreasonable to hold.
Seems we’re simply working with different definitions.
Mine appears to align with Wikipedia. Where are you getting yours from?
How’s that working out for you?
Just fine, thank you. How are you?
