I think they adhere to the same idea as the political compass definition of "left".
That is they want to grind the poor into dust to use as fertilizer for the line to go up, but also they want gay marriage, legal abortions, and they claim to dislike racism*
*They're still racist pieces of shit, but mostly only to poor people and people from the United States' designated enemies like Chinese people.
Along some cultural axis that has now subsumed the economic questions in our lives. What is considered left politically is that which the democrats support. Therefore a center leftist is a person who is "moderate" on cultural issues (meaning pro abortion but only for the first trimester for example, or pro immigration but anti dreamer) but otherwise in the Democrat camp of global bourgeois (contra GOP provincial bourgeois).
There is no difference in foreign policy, no difference in economic policy. These are not considered in the calculus of left-right because they are just facts of American reality. Anymore than one can say something like "needing to eat or breathing" are political, there must be forever wars in the periphery, there must be a military industrial complex, there muat be means testing and the sell off of state capacity, there must be etc etc.
What do they think the "Left" in center-left means?

it's a decorative garnish to make the "center" part more appealing.
