tbf to centrists at least they aren't convinced they are right about everything. People with strong views get blinded by their ideology.
It's been easier to debate and change every centrist or independent I've ever known than anyone who applied left or right wing labels to themselves, that's for damn sure.
I'm extremely keen on politics but have been a paid up member of the third party in the UK. Kind of centrists who have liberal social views. Get so much stick from friends and family for getting involved in politics to come sit on the fence! They never win anything but function a bit like a policy think tank where they adopt progressive policies before anyone else does then one of the larger parties steal their ideas.
IMO most issues have nuance and need to be considered in isolation on their own merits.
