  1. "Centrist", only by American standards. In reality, Bernie is only slightly left of centre, promoting centrist European societies. The bulk of the Democratic politicians are right wing, and Republican politicians further right of them. If this guy is taking a position between Republicans and Democrats, then he's pretty right wing.

  2.  @GavinGill07  Nah, our Liberals are centre-right, our NDP are centre-left, and the PC are right. In the US, many Democrats are about the same as our PCs. Some about the same as our Liberals. A few new ones and Bernie are like our NDP. The US Republicans and Libertarians are way right. There really are no far left politicians or political parties operating in the developed world. Far left would be complete economic equality. Sure, some politicians promote having less disparity, but none are promoting total equality. Far right, on the other hand, would be zero government interference in economy, business, little to no taxes (except for a legal system and defense, which Ayn Rand was okay taxing for), allowing for whatever inequality capitalism dishes out. Plenty of US politicians promote that. You're right though, that the majority of Americans now seem to be centre-left, since polls show the majority now supporting Medicare for all, taxing the wealthy, etc. The US is only now recovering from McCarthyism and the Cold War, which shifted their politics totally right of centre.
