Unfortunately the left has won in this regard. The left moves so hard and fast to the left that even the right can no longer "refuse to compromise." If they don't, they are bigots at worst and uncultured, out of touch imbeciles at best.
Republicans have moved further to the right than Democrats have to the left:

By definition, someone who is conservative doesn't need to "move". Conservatism is about _conserving_ and subsequently not changing or moving.
If the conservatives are becoming "more conservative" they are (or at least should be) _not moving_.
Your dictionary definition and the practical real world are two different things. Especially when it comes to implementing policy (and the methods used to gain power).
* nationalized health insurance
* higher upper marginal rate income taxes
* expanded public transportation
* higher corporate taxes
* unions/employee members of corporate boards
* longer parental leave
* more vacation time
These and many other policies are common across other democratic nations' left-ish parties, and are actual policy in many of those nations.
Not sure that it really matters. As the #1 and #2 priorities of the Democratic Party right are allowing for the unrestricted killing of the unborn and supporting the alphabet-soup of sexual/gender spectrum.
And the support of logically inconsistent and outright vile policies to favor the later letters of the alphabet soup are an American export.
Not an accurate description of any democrat AFAIK.
> supporting the alphabet-soup of sexual/gender spectrum
Probably not priority #1 or #2, and if they were, not even an actually bad thing...
We're talking about the US.
