That's simply not how centrism works. Centrism is not and has never been about nonviolence. It has been about viewing the two major factions in the U.S. as the same or similar, and honestly trying to view or portray oneself as superior to both. Nonviolence can be used for such purposes but is not required.
So the issue is you have no idea what centrism means.
The issue is you think centrism means being like you when it is anything but.
