It is pathetic how exclusive the parties have become, on both sides. Is no diversity of opinion allowed?

Yeah I think its sad how the "Moderate Wing" of both parties have died especially Republicans in the US House 90% of members according to DW-Nominate are Conservatives. That's just a whopping number. Its just 60% in the US Senate that are Conservatives(i.e. non-centrists.)

And at the same time everybody is talking about partisanship. The varied ideological structure of both parties is what caused deals to be made in the past. But yes let us continue to complain about gridlock while denigrating anyone that falls out of step from the party line.

It really is a bit unprecedented in our modern era.
