The GOP has a Trumpian-Populist wing and a Pro-business-small government wing.  The Dems have a wing consisting of a disconnected coalition of mostly disadvantaged social groups, a Neo-Liberal wing and one that can be called liberal-populist.  Neither party has a coherent message, with the Dems the least coherent of the two.

If the Dems win big in November, it may be a Pyrrhic victory.  With politicians representing all three wings (and a few standing outside the mainstream entirely), show me how they will accomplish anything more productive than fighting amongst themselves.

The concept of Left and Right is only useful and commonly acceptable when speaking with Democrats and their leftist supporters.
