Why does left wing advocates hate centrists? - eviltoast

I just noticed that one of the news communities here discourage the use of least biased/centrist news sources and I saw some people who put that they hate centrists in their bios.

All is that is kind of weird to me and does not make sense, as I thought that all sides should encourage ideas from centrists and least biased sources.

Is there is something that I miss here?

    The people who would be “centrist” in other civilized countries are called left wing extremists, even by their own party…

    Do you not understand why those people would then not be happy with the most viable “left” option in American politics and not be upset with the “centrists” who would be called conservative in other societies?

    It’s incredible basic, but your question was so basic the answer obviously was going to be too.
