i think this is vastly misrepresented. A conservative "centrist" would be your traditional conservative, what we would refer to as moderate right, or center moderate right. Where as on the lefty side, it's a little bit more like "i just don't like the conservatives" and that's kind of the extent of it.
moderate lefties would be like, socially progressive people, for example. Anything past that and you start getting into harder left wing camps. The left just isn't as fractured and extremist as the right is in certain aspects, there are definitely extremists, but the vast majority of people fall into the more "centrist" definition of political alignment.
