I think those are probably good examples of a centrist, meaning you agree with the left and right on different things while most on the left or right agree with most left or right issues. So it depends on the individual on the particular issues, and as such, there is no such thing as a center belief and no such thing as "the" center.IMO someone in the "middle" does not follow lockstep with ideology associated with either extreme , whatever extreme is ??
is it possible to be
anti- abortion, but pro- gay marriage
pro - pot legalization but tough on crime
pro -union but against illegal immigration
atheist but believe that a manger scene hurts no one
some of the issues are personal and defy a label on way or another.
When I consider some issues I can not take a strong stance one way or another. I take those "political spectrum" tests and always get 1 click to the right and 1 click libertarian

Agreed, the "center" is just the group of people who don't "choose sides", not that they're in the middle on issues.
