This whole idea that its a bad system rests on people using it in a negative way instead of a positive one. It relies on people figuring out who's the least likely to win and then moving votes appropriately.
You dont need to base your vote on who got what last election. You dont need to be so embarrassed the person you voted for lost, that you need to change your values and vote differently.
Everyone should be voting for someone not against someone. I think popular vote will help with this if it passes in enough states.
You would be correct if your system wasn't so archaic.
