What are they whining about? Jay Inslee, Maria Cantwell, Patty Murray and pretty much every other politician representing Washington state-wide fits their description of a "centrist".
Vance should suck it up and admit he's a Democrat.
I disagree that that don't stand for anything. Every single one of those centrist "principles" is a dog whistle for rightwing policies. No centrism at all.
The only people I've heard recently self-applying the "centrist" label have been extreme-right politicians trying to distance themselves from the toxic branding of the Republican party.
