well one more coordinate is common sensical but presented in some depth and elegance by the philosopher henri bergson and that is that in any two party system or two blocs of parties system they will tend to alternate cyclically in power because of the inevitable sense of newness and fatigue of the outs and ins... my feeling is that the differences in 'ideas' and real 'interests' are much more minimal , in the United States in any case, than the ideologues and enthusiasts with their causes choose to suppose... perhaps need to suppose for psychological reason etc.
