People align themselves with whomever they agree with, and that does change in other systems. there's no room for change in the US because both parties need to appeal to everyone.
And this is why, as a non-American who is also an expatriate living across the globe, American politics is my favourite sport.

I get to pick my team and cheer for my team and it has almost no bearing on my life whatsoever. (though living in Taiwan, I legitimately fear a Trump Presidency as I have absolutely no confidence he'd stand up to Chinese agression).

GO BLUE!
