This has been a problem basically since we started having votes on things. There are flaws with basically all voting systems. I still think ranked choice voting is better but it absolutely leads to the possibility of everyones least favorite person being elected and that would be bad.
Same with electoral votes in a two party system. Now if we could expand into a four or five party with those parties getting the same level of importance, it could improve the quality of candidates by giving us more choices.
Yeah but that would require someone to break off from one of the two powerful parties. And historically there is little to no support of third party candidates. What's the most a third party ever got? Like 3 percent of votes?
The purpose of the system is what it does
