I would love to know what the people who see no 'cavernous ideological divide' are looking for, that the parties look the same to them.
The last 40 or so years have seen some significant shifts. The Democrats have been taken over by those looking for European style socialism. In attempts at moderation, the Republicans lost their focus on small federal government and states rights. Each compromise takes us down the progressive path, so yes you end up with these silly bailouts. There is now a resurgance of Republicans who have had enough and are trying to push back to their small-government roots.
No divide ? One side things the government should provide for everyone, the other that people should provide for themselves. What are you looking for ?
