at the moment Democrats are more likely to be pro-choice, pro social programs, pro business regulation, pro welfare... while Republicans are more likely to be pro gun rights, pro-life, anti civil liberties, pro tax cuts... For many people there is a clear cut best choice out of the two parties.

There is indeed. Because the two parties have aligned themselves so efficiently.

But it doesn't change the fact that the election is then decided by the people who aren't drawn as strongly to one coalition or the other, and then the choice comes down to things like looks, personality, or choice of words.
