Democratic Party and Republican Party are big tent parties. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_tent
The members of each party are loosely ideological associated with each other instead of everyone closely believing in the same ideology like in a normal political party.
It’s basically the result of the first past the post voting system where the winner takes all instead of proportional representation. Like every election for every seat eventually ends up being a race between the two biggest parties. Hence why people who want to run for office join one of the two biggest parties. And why you get politicians who are opposites of each other in the same party.
