Actually centrist, as in midway between classical left or classical right? Sure.

"Centrist" as in halfway between the actually centrist Democrats and the rabid alt-right Republicans? Hell no.

Absolutely not.


And especially not a "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" moron like Howard Schultz.
That's not what any centrists actually mean when they want a centrist. You can be +10,-10 on the political matrix, but them evening out doesn't make you "centrist". You're just opposite extremes. Of course nobody is in the perfect center, but centrists want someone who is actually somewhat close to the real middle.

There is no "real middle", at least not that anyone wants.

We've become two separate nations, that just happen to be geographically intermingled. We don't even agree on what laws or the Constitution or people are anymore.
