The basic division is traditionally called "conservative," which is Republican, and "liberal," which is Democrat. However, these two have gotten rather mixed up over the years with regard to economic issues versus social issues. So in fact, we need a map, not merely a line, in order to see that there are other viewpoints available. See the map and take the World's Smallest Political Quiz at the link below.
Also mapped are Libertarians, for my choice, or at the opposite extreme, you find the Greens and/or various other big-government points of view. Oh, yes, the Greens want big government. Different from the one we have, no doubt, but big.
