I meant middle ground as in "you can talk about it, but you're neither forced to nor is it banned".

Also, there used to be a political spectrum and not just "progressive" and "conservative": This is something completely different than left/right - a right-wing person can easily be a progressive about his right views, while a left-wing person can be conservative [or even reactionary] about his left views.

[Edit: Note, I'm a non-native speaker: Maybe this differentiation is different between English than in German?]

Your English appears to be excellent and your original point seemed quite clear to me.

@core-question's reply under yours wasn't an indication that yours was unclear; it was just taking the conversation in a slightly different direction (which is normal).
