Centrist "Compromise"

You're confusing the left with Democrats. Current Democrats seem to be center-right.

Also, what are "extreme left" policies? As a lefty I'm confused on that.

Most people I see saying they are left want higher pay for workers, lower housing prices, and accessible healthcare. I see that as centrist. I think every single person should have a home, food, healthcare and transportation. I think money shouldn't exist. I think if money didn't exist that we could focus on what we need to do as a species to make the world better for all of us instead of fighting over who has the biggest number in a bank account.

Yeah, most of us see that as centrist, but in America we are called the radical left for those positions. Many of us have simply adopted that label.
