Does that not bolster the argument that because the two primary ideological sides have become so far apart on issues, an evenly drawn stalemate between two roughly equal parties (not total gridlock) is actually good for the majority who reside somewhere in the vast middle?
The majority -- those who do not exist at the ideological edges of the spectrum -- are best served by parties that are able to check the extremist tendencies of their colleagues on the other side of the aisle.
We may tend to agree more with one party over another, but do we really want either party in complete control? I prefer that both parties have healthy oppositions.
