Probably not.  We centrists tend to see both sides and sometimes get criticized for that.  But I think the more you learn about each side, the easier it is to understand their differences as well as their similarities.

Sometimes both sides are bad choices, but that's no reason to sit out.  The difference between "bad" and "worse" is often of more significance than between "good" and "bad".  I didn't like HRC much, but I voted for her because I was certain that Trump would be much worse.

I'm a Republican, but it's pretty clear who the centrists' sympathies are currently with, and that's the Democrats.

That's because the GOP has, over the years, moved much further from the center than the Democrats have.  We have no real home in American politics, but it's a shorter walk to the D's.
