how do I get the bullet points of a to center with the text?

Question

Add list-style-position: inside to the ul element. (example)

The default value for the list-style-position property is outside.

ul {
    text-align: center;
    list-style-position: inside;
}

<ul>
    <li>one</li>
    <li>two</li>
    <li>three</li>
</ul>

Another option (which yields slightly different results) would be to center the entire ul element:

.parent {
  text-align: center;
}
.parent > ul {
  display: inline-block;
}

<div class="parent">
  <ul>
    <li>one</li>
    <li>two</li>
    <li>three</li>
  </ul>
</div>
