      I consider “at least some of the time” to be an argument in favor of the opposite position.

      So you’d rather the entity that never has and never will have your best interests at heart over the one that to an extent does? An interesting position to take.

      First past the post and an electoral college are not a voting system which can provide people significant representation in government.

      The electoral college provides people significant representation in federal government as grouped by state. The. Each state gives people representation in their states government. It would only make sense to get rid of the electoral college after dissolving the 50 states and unifying under 1 federal government, which isn’t something that I think literally any American wants.
