Dude, most other countries, bar the dictatorships, have more changes happening than the US. Most other countries don't have two-party systems with filibusters, debt ceilings disconnected from the budget, and whatever else.

Any country implementing parliamentarism, especially those not implementing first past the post, will have a lot less stalemates, because there are multiple other parties to make horse trades with. Do you have experience with any other country's system of governance?
