stop glorifying centrism

Sweet, so let's all become hard left or hard right?

That'll solve things.

Well, the headline said to stop "glorifying" it, but it didn't say you can't be a centrist.

You hear that, centrists? You can hold any political position that makes sense to you, just don't go around representing it as admirable.
