The only similarity between US Dems-Reps and DR PLD-PRD is that they are both major ruling parties. Other than that. You can be somewhat pessimistic and say there is no difference. But, in actuality, these parties were formed on the base of distinct ideologies. In fact, PRD and PLD was founded by the same guy - Juan Bosch - I know you must be thinking what? Bosch founded PRD after Trujillo was out of the picture and won those elections (then there was a coup and Bosch was out). After things got back in order Bosch founded the PLD and lost against Balaguer (PRD).
