I think I might have a different conception of centrists to OP, but the ones I encounter are the most insufferable idiots to have political exchanges with. A "centrist" is someone that has been Fully Propagandized. They have bought so fully into the mass media/political machine consensus that they have become ideologically committed to avoid seeing the world in any other way. Any notion that their heavily propaganda-reinforced world view might be wrong triggers massive cognitive dissonance and so they're always the quickest to dismiss you.
No idea why you would consider lolberts to be centrists, they're the most extreme advocates for corporate tyranny. At least people on the far right (lolberts) know that something is wrong and are willing to engage with others who think something with wrong, you can have quite productive conversations and even ally with them on specific issues.
Centrists by comparison are people who think not only that the Democrats and Republicans are acceptable, but that good governance is when they balance each other out, and politics is really all about politeness, respectability, etc. Centrists tend to be people too insulated from economic consequences to have any reason to consider alternatives. Remember that in a time of crisis the center never holds.
