Why is diversity of thought limited to Democrats and Republicans, two perspectives that are actually quite close when it comes to economics - do you want a mixed-market economy that tilts slightly more in the direction of free market capitalism or not?

There's just not much daylight between Democrat and Republican economic professors compared to say a Marxian Economist vs Chicago School for example. I think the handwringing over D/R splits really boils down to narcissism of small differences.

And if the mention of Seuss dredges up culture war nonsense, that's only fitting.
