If a majority of the American people were in favor of being cheated by the fraudsters, actual centrism would agree with official establishment media centrism. But the American people aren't in favor of being ripped off. Elizabeth Warren, Grayson and Sanders are closer to the true center than any of the other voices out there. They are not radical in the least.
Most of us want single payer. Most of us want to cut the military. Most of us want to increase taxes on the wealthy and corporations. Most of us want to preserve social security and medicare. Most of us want to rein in NSA surveillance. Most of us want to pull back from foreign entanglements. There is your real center.
