I did attempt to explain in another post, but I’ll also reply here.
I’m not saying the center is the ideal. I’m not saying people at the edges of the political compass are “extreme”. Being in the center would be like trying to serve the same plate to two different patrons at a restaurant. I personally think you should pick a side and stand up for your ideals.
However, issues that arise should be resolved with critical thinking in mind. Bad faith arguments in an attempt to hold your position is extreme. Ignoring evidence supporting other conclusions is extreme.
