Not necessarily. That's a result of first past the post, not of voting in general. ranked choice voting solves a lot of this extremism 2 party system. The dominant parties need to at least pretend to appel enough to moderatism that a 3rd party isn't outvoting both of them.
>Many people understand this and it is barely part of the consideration in their vote. The last election in the US was a social battle, not really an economic one.
So the right wingers never really cared about inflation, egg prices, and the job market. I wish I could pretend to be shocked at this point.

Yup, we really need to fix this problem in many countries. Ranked choice is a great idea that should be pushed for.

That was my perception of it at least. I'm not a US citizen. Job market might have been a big one but even that is partially social as a rejection of globalism.
