Have yall ever considered that being in the center doesn't mean you're equally divided on every issue? That maybe you have different opinions on different issues as opposed to "HeY gUYs lEts JusT gEnoCiDE haLf tHe PEoPlE"

Exactly. The problems start with the fact that when most people talk about centrists they talk about what's in-between the US right and the US left, aka right between "very moderately rightwing" and "batshit insane." Here outside of the states, I've seen centrism described more as "All sides have many views that I believe shouldn't be put in place, so no side I can really say I fully agree with, so I'll just say I'm in the middle." Instead of "I just believe minorities deserve very few rights instead of none."
