By that metric Donald Trump is far left, so I don't think it's a good metric.

Compromise like
Person A: let's torture immigrants
Person B: let's not
Person C: whoa whoa hold on. Isn't there space in the middle that will please everyone? Let's only torture half the immigrants
There's a reason "enlightened centrist" is such a maligned stereotype. As stupid as person A is in the mock exchange above, person C is clearly even stupider.
the rest of us want debates and compromise
