This is of course referring to parties in the US. Parties in Europe are successful, and are very much more ideological. All parties are here are electoral funding systems that don't do much other than raise money for candidates and spend money on candidates. But with a two party system you can never have that because there are more ideologies than just two.
And yes, there are more than there are parties in many European countries, but more parties are able to better represent the variety of ideologies.
