Are the two parties really that different from each other?
Yes! They are different but also it is true that they are very similar in many ways. And the reason for that is because, if you put everybody in America, all the voters in the very least. On an ideological spectrum, from left to right, or vice versa in a camera angle. From extreme left to extreme right and someone in the middle, and parties want to win the majority or they want to win elections they are going to position themselves as close to the middle as they can. So both parties are going to put themselves as close to the middle as they can to appeal to the most people. Yet if they are both exactly the same there is no reason why one person will vote for a party oppose to the other. So they difference themselves on the left or the right to be different. So the party on the right which should be the Republican Party can say, ”To everybody who is further right then it is, that you know, is going to vote for us because you are not going to vote for these guys because they are more left than we are and vice versa. So, yes they tend to take some similar positions or more middle positions, not extreme positions. But at the same time, because they want to win elections, they will always try to be different then the other party on major issues. They'll take an opposite stance, but not an extreme opposite stance, enough to be different or opposite or oppose an opposition but not, not too far so that they can try at capturing people at possible.
