Not sure how that's a coherent reply to that specific post but as an overall response to my expressed viewpoint I get it.

I'm European, for me practically all politicians in the US are extreme far right. Its just that generally the Democrats are slightly less extreme, and perhaps slightly less authoritarian (following politicalcompass.org theory of x-axis and y-axis [1])

I do agree that one should never dismiss a party, especially not in the United States of America which is practically a two party system where you pick Red or Blue. Because you never know which candidate is put forth. Less short-term wise we've also seen shifts in party politics, for example the neo-conservatives taking over the Reps.

Thinking of parties in terms of espoused positions is probably a mistake. They are directional creatures.
