Part of the issue is that the true center of politics would be social democracy. It is in fact a compromise between socialism and capitalism.

"Centrism" as it has been advertised and executed in western countries is quite far to the right of that. "Centrists" have been stomping on unions, outsourcing industries, deregulating the financial sector... and in return what does the left get?

Honestly America's problem is your balls to the walls retarded electoral system at both the executive and legislative branches.

This is a problem. The US system is designed to protect rich white landowners and does a marvelous job of that. I think the electoral system is the principle reason the US has never had as extensive a welfare state as other developed countries.
