Germany is currently governed by a coalition between the major center-left and center-right party if you want to use the traditional terms. That’s something different then one of two parties right or left from center.
The head of government in the German system also has a lot less power then a US president.
New parties are able to enter parliament and as long as they have >5% and gets seats nobody sees those votes as wasted.
