Ehm… America already has a centrist party. It’s called the Democratic Party. What you don’t have is a leftist Party.

Compare the Dems with leftist parties around the globe and they come up as centrists at best.

Left does not carry the same meaning here as it does in many other countries. In many cases, that would be like comparing apples and oranges.

Try…

en.wikipedia.org

The Democrats are in no way centrist, both in general political ideology and in their opposition to conservative political ideology.

The whole nature of the terms represent two different sides, not middles.
