@severian, the 2-party system does provide changes just like other system but things work out differently.

e.g., obama beat hillary in 2008 and gave us health care reform and a more dovish foreign policy

now bernie sanders lost, but seems to have made some sort of deal with hillary for education if we go by what she said last night-- don't have the specifics right now or time to search them but change does come from interparty dissension or bipartisan deals

so what gets worked out in coalitions within something a parliamentary system gets worked out by caucuses in the 2-party system

parliamentary is not necessarily that revolutionary-- see for example netanyahu's rule in israel, a country that has moved further to the right in the past 2+ decades

but now speaking of the environment, funny thing, the EPA was created by nixon if i'm not mistaken.

how times change.
