re: Regardless of political views, people have the same goals and desires

Then what do you call it? Honest question. It just seems to me that people have their priorities on both sides and are willing to overlook the faults they have with the side that they are on. I am merely using this issue as an example because no one else is. I can find hypocrisies on either side

Everyone, and I mean everyone is hypocritical in one way or another. I've yet to meet a person whose actions align 100% with their worldview, 100% of the time. Since there are so many issues to have opinions on, every election is going to be a lesser of two evils scenario. The only way to avoid that (and not completely, mind you) is to have 100 different parties that each have their own niche political opinions. The problem with that is that nothing will get done, but in a worse way than nothing gets done now. You'd have to form coalitions with other parties in order to get your pet projects pushed through. We just skip the middleman here by having two parties with different elements within.
