Same as before

Pretty much any known alternative to the "winner takes all" system is better, which is both a blessing and a curse.

Any alternative is better because you really can't be worse than discarding votes on the first and single turn.

It's a blessing because you can't go wrong. It's a curse because there's no perfect voting system, so the few people who care start comparing the alternatives and soon enough everyone else has left the room, back to watching TikTok and other echo chamber algorithms. Back to: democracy is screwed.

Or, maybe the mere idea of voting is flawed? https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/645360/against-e...
I didn't read that book, it was a reference from somewhere else. The summary is interesting.

> If you treat elections as multi-round games instead of one shot games

The problem with multiple rounds is: you may choose someone more consensual but you're still electing a single person. That's OK for one president because there's only one slot to fill anyway. but you can do a much more representative job when you need to pick 600 people. It's not theoretical, many countries do a much better job already.
