Likewise. If we don't agree on what's centrist, then people are going to complain that we call sites right-wing or left-wing when they aren't.

(For example, I find myself needing to shift all bias assessments one category to the right at mediabiasfactcheck.com, because they use an American definition of "centrist". At least they admit it so we can react accordingly.)

Honestly, I'm almost tempted to say "who cares" because I've been deluged with pro-Herschel Walker ads claiming that liberals have been defunding the police - which 1) goes to show how little if ever they cared about Dems reaching across the aisle and 2) is naturally the opposite of what Dems have actually done by and large. (Would that they were so ballsy - but that's another thread entirely :B)

Point being, there's gonna be devoted wing-"nuts" American and otherwise who'll call a bullzoder a steamroller no matter what you do.
