This is like saying that economically centrists are to the right of the left. Which is like duh. It is quite obvious why people miss this point, it looks like no point and the second panel is not different from the first in this respect. But I want to thank you for explaining the intent behind this cartoon.
I also disagree that centrists represent the status quo. It depends on the issue. Take Supreme Court, for example. It is clearly on the right side. Take taxation of the income brackets. It is clearly on the left side (one of the most progressive taxes in the world), but on the taxes for things like capital gain, it is clearly on the right. And so on. But that’s different discussion.
