One-dimensional left-right views of politics are no more accurate or useful to navigation than a map of the flat earth surrounded by angels.  The main purpose of common political labels is to claim “us vs. them” which is why simple labels are so often used.

Today, we use Einstein’s multi-dimensional physics to derive physical position in GPS systems but persist in the one-dimensional political classifications arising from the habitual seating choices of members of the French National Assembly of 1789.  Even then, observers noted a second dimension, front and back which denoted a degree of engagement with prevailing views on either side.
