As long as people see their chosen political party as their hometown sports team and the other political party as a bunch of demonic goblins looking to murder and imprison them and their families, that will never happen.

If you're not willing to vote for either political party to achieve your supported goals, you're part of the problem and a big part of why the country is the way it is.

Statistics on how many Americans lock into stances on who they will vote for, relatively early in the election. The "middle" is thought to be maybe 10% if that.
