Politics isn't like that. People aren't like that. For a bunch of music fans the emotional intelligence here is in short supply.

Thanks for doing the thinking for me. I thought that my concept of centrism was pretty different from what you describe here but I guess you know best. You should work for Slate.
How do you define centrism and answer the question of how centrists form their "ideology"?
