    But you’re not just defending centrists, you’re responding to claims people make about centrists by saying “but I’m not like that so obviously not all centrists are like that”. Your reply to pthaloblue elsewhere in the thread is an example of this. You clearly present yourself as a centrist there in direct response to someone talking about centrists. You seem to be arguing about this from the point of view of someone who feels like they’re being personally attacked even though based on the actual beliefs you’ve mentioned and your own dislike of labels by all accounts you’re not a centrist and thus not an example of what centrists are like.
