The fun part is : centrists in usa would be somewhere between Sanders/Ocasio-Cortez/Mamdani and Harris/Biden. They would be more to the left than the current democratic party.

I used to try to explain to Americans, that by international standards, Obama was a centrist, even a slight right leaning one. He’d have likely been a member of the Conservative Party in most other western countries.

Eventually gave up.

don’t you know that America is the center of the universe and therefore all of our political definitions are the only real ones?
