To go back to the kids fighting analogy, when do kids tend to have the fight end? When a third party (adult or another kid) comes in and either sugguests a compromise or ends it in some other way.

Political parties change stances all of the time, largely due to internal pressure. Your third party analogy assumes that political parties are static organizations.
This change can be good (Democrats in the 1960s and Civil Rights) or it can be bad (Republicans in the 1970s and the Silent Majority), but it does happen.

Another excellent point. If change would be forthcoming in both parties, or even just in one, things would progress. However, I don't see change happening anytime soon. Or, rather, I do see change happening, but it's a bad change.
Who knows how far things will progress in this direction before we reach some kind of breaking point?
