Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You don't understand what centrism is. There is no such thing as a single "centrist position".

Centrism defines a collective of views; it describes a set of points of view that lie on both 'wings', such that it's not really accurate to label that person as either.

Defining centrism the way you just did is kind of like defining bisexuality as being attracted only to a person who is a 50/50 mixture of male/female (which of course doesn't actually exist), instead of someone who is capable of being attracted to males and females. And just how most bi people have a preference 'lean' toward one sex over the other, centrists also tend to 'lean', based on where the lion's share of their values sit.

Basically, anyone who describes themselves as "left/right leaning" is a centrist, specifically who has volunteered a bit more specificity about their set of values.
