Being a "hardcore democrat" or "hardcore republican" is the same thing as being centrist.
Both parties are working together. If you polarize far to one side, you're only feeding the drama and division they are cultivating.
If you ever ran for office you'd either 1) get murdered or 2) become a hardcore "republican/democrat" al la Trump, and do nothing but push the uni-party agenda, while further dividing the citizenry against themselves.
Edit: centrists are universally hated because they aren't heavily polarized to one side. They do not fervently fight to push a parties agenda, making them undesirable.
Can't we just have socialism and nationalism working hand in hand together for the grater good?

And yet here they are
And I'm not saying they're useful for anything
