There are others that are pretty much binary, such as using 'In God We Trust' as our national motto. It is possible to take a centrist position on the first. The only centrist 'position' possible on the second is, "I don't care." And indifference is a big filter in determining who will post.
Talking of "middle" positions, there are some issues that have more middle positions than some people give credit for. I have seemn more opinions on abortion than simply the "pro (something)" ones.
