Centrists will get really angry over a leftist being slightly whiny then right-wingers actively spewing out hatred towards innocent minorities.
And then only criticize the left, never once have I seen a centrist actual criticize the right.

Centrism ends up being purely performative and usually not in good faith.
Liberals expect to be rewarded with power for criticizing the Right. If they don't get something they want for criticizing the Right, Liberals pout & whine that they are underappreciated.
Liberal economic policies focus mostly on unnecessarily high Government spending and bureaucracy, driving up prices. Conservative economic policies are extreme cuts on essential services and distracting the public with a new boogeyman when prices don't lower.
Seriously, what are you doing?
Centrist is something else.
"Everyone to my right is a right-winger" is far-left edgelord nonsense and it only aids fascism. You're a Trumper but from the nominal left.

No excuses for them.
That's not how we regain power, it's how the far left gets power at the expense of the center left.
The far left aids the far right, always.

I dislike leftists for being ineffectual, haughty, sanctimonious, obsessed with niche causes, & being more concerned about foreign countries than their own country
Everyone using that title is an undercover right winger trying to gaslight you into debating them.
And then only criticize the center, never once have I seen a leftist actual criticize the right
cowardly to own up to being a right winger.
You're correct there aren't many but there are some.
And, in his defense, unlike the far left, he actually opposes the far right.
He's to the right of center, but the right has moved so freaking far off the cliff that the goal posts have changed.
I'm fine with immigration, but ignoring the socioeconomic impacts of letting in massive numbers of people immigrate at once is irresponsible.
Open air detention centers should only be a stop gap measure before more effective shelters can be built.
Asylum laws need to be reworked to close certain loopholes that are being abused by people who don't qualify, and more funding for immigration courts is needed
the ideal solution would include alleviating the need to migrate or seek asylum by supporting the democracies, rights, and economies of source nations. but we have to accept responsibility and make sacrifices for migrants.
We're responsible to care for people at our border checkpoints, and those within our borders, but not outside of them. That's on them and their own sovereign countries.
