How do you go from bi-partisanship, which is a centrist compromise, to communism, which is an extreme flavour of liberalism ?
I think you have mixed up bi-partisanship with centrism. While bi-partisanship is simply two parties agreeing, centrisim is simply being in the middle of the two parties (usually evidenced by holding beliefs from both sides of the aisle). But just because the Republicans and the Democrats agree on something doesn't mean that it is centrist.
Bi-partisanship can be a good thing, as long as they are correct about the issue. What happens in America, however, is any "compromise" is done by the Republicans moving closer to the Liberal point of view. Voila! Then you have bi-partisanship! The parties are somewhat synonymous... they are both liberal. There really isn't a conservative party anymore.

Something to ponder too, in Britain, all 3 major parties are por-EU, though supposedly political enemies...eventually, due to money, fame,etc-large Parites can become infiltrate and corrupted......
Parties there or in USA may work together or argue, but it is usually in small things, never on principle such questions not asked like "is this constitutional" or not......or "is this in line with God's law" or not......
