It may help to realize that compared to other countries.
America’s typical left is more like the center, the right are literally attacking the goverment and trying to make it authoritarian (Jan 6 and Project 2025), and the centrists are telling us to atleast hear out the people who led a coup and expect us to forget about it.
That’s why the centrists sound ridiculous to us, it’s one thing to hold centrist views (which is actually the right compared to the first world) but telling us to listen to both sides when the other side has given up on democracy and are testing the waters for a forceful takeover, it’s absurd.
