Here's how you do it.

First, decorate your list this way:

text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text

text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 

Add this CSS:

.p {
    position: relative;
    margin: 20px;
    margin-left: 50px;
}
.text-bullet-centered {
    position: absolute;
    left: -40px;
    top: 50%;
    transform: translate(0%,-50%);
    font-weight: bold;
}

And voila, it works. Resize a window, to see that it indeed works.

As a bonus, you can easily change font and color of bullets, which is very hard to do with normal lists.

.p {
  position: relative;
  margin: 20px;
  margin-left: 50px;
}

.text-bullet-centered {
  position: absolute;
  left: -40px;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translate(0%, -50%);
  font-weight: bold;
}
