Currently the Democratic and Republican parties are the two major parties, and the main survivors from a multitude of past political parties. The Democrats are considered to be left of center (liberal) whereas the Republicans are considered to be right of center (conservative). There are no other major parties simply because no other party has gained enough support or organization to be able to succeed at elections. Also, the way the laws are written and the parties are divided out, changes would be necessary for other parties to become larger and more viable.

There are also minor parties such as Libertarian, Independent, and several others.
