You shouldn't design the rules of the game to help a particular side win.
If your claim is that no one in their right mind will want these
"extremists" elected, then no one will vote for them.

A 'bad' Condorcet compromise candidate is one that no one likes, and no one
is happy with them being in office.  You only get really bad Condorcet
candidates when, for most voters, the expected utility of the compromise
candidate is close to the expected utility of the greater of two evils
candidate.  This will not commonly occur when there are two strong
extremists and a weak compromise.
