My biggest issue is that there are really only 2 parties, I get what you mean about the 400 terms, but in my experience, most of them are slightly different too the point that a separate term is justified. That being said I wouldn't mind some standardization since sometimes the terms were made in a context that makes them mean the exact opposite to what the average person interprets it as.

Some terms are important to clarify. Like most Democrats are either Neoliberals or Neocons. If you don't know the difference between classical liberalism and it's modern forms a party like the Democrats might not make any sense

The reason the Democrats even have any value is progressives who strive to improve things through evidence, intervention, and evaluation. Unfortunately they do not control the party and are a minority compared to the Neoliberals and Neocons.
