It is that way now. I think in the 20th century there was more potential for enough agreement between members of the parties to pass legislation. That has increasingly not been the case ever since the Tea Party in 2010 did a Ship of Theseus move ousting almost every moderate Republican from office,
Don't get me wrong in not advocating for centrism, mostly making the point that the two party system itself is destined for failure in a capitalist context (where corruption is called lobbying and donations)

I'm not so persuaded of the dialectical inevitability of this state of affairs from the past to the present to the future. Give me a hypothetical time machine with the power to act upon key inflection points in the past, and I believe we might be living in a very different world.
