Michael A. Cohen is wrong — the real America is not center-left (Ideas, Nov. 8). The real America is in the center. Nothing makes that clearer than the extremely close election we just went through. Donald Trump’s loss wasn’t a left-right issue. It was about his incompetence in handling the coronavirus pandemic.
The left-wing values Cohen has espoused, such as packing the Supreme Court and eliminating the filibuster, are a threat to the compromises needed to make our democracy work. These views are just as dangerous to our democracy as the views of Trump and his extreme right-wing supporters.

Good legislation benefiting the majority of Americans requires compromise from both sides of the aisle, because the real America is in the center.
