Be a man, step up to the plate, chose action over inaction. Compromise only when it does not involve your principals. Centrism is a cowardly way in my humble opinion.
Centrism is the way the world goes round, when you have two opposing magnets, they'll meet in the middle you see, all things are subject to decay, planets become rounder and rounder unless you invest work and energy to stop it.
When politics are one sided, things like North Korea happen but I'm almost sure even that will not last forever and become more modest with time. You can also see this in parliaments that consist of more than one party, they have to make compromises (arrive in the middle/center) to get anywhere, centrism is just having understood that this is where things end up anyway.
