Are there any Americans here any more?

Yep, the some 60-70% of the population who are decidedly centrist. The
"polarization" of the US is a myth, the reality is that the political
apathy of the 60-70% in the center has allowed the only two viable
political parties to be overrun by the minority of wingers on both
sides. As a result, the center appears split due to the lack of centrist
candidates to vote for, but they are most certainly not supporters of
either party, they are just voting against whoever they think is worst.

This is a very profound analysis. A+
