Manchin and Sinema are not centrist.
I'm seeing a lot of dissing on centrist and people spiking the football of sorts by saying, "aha see! Centrist are doing XYZ...
Hillary who nearly 30 years ago worked her butt off for universal healthcare, used her platform to help get CHIP passed is a centrist. Btw, she also had a plan for basic income and said she thought it should look something like what Alaska has in her 2016 platform.
Joe Biden is a centrist, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, and so on...
Manchin is to the right of centrist and not quite yet a republican. That is not where most centrist are at.
