The election system distorts the vote quite dramatically in the US, that’s true.
However, depending on where you’re from left has quite a different meaning from what Americans mean when they say left. E.g. the Democrats don’t want to dismantle capitalism or expropriate real estate companies (the city of Berlin seriously looked into this option). Centerleft has a similar shift in meaning in other countries.
Presumably in much the same way that toddlers can’t win a high school scholar bowl. Just because one side or type of idea is a clear winner doesn’t mean it’s not a fair system.

This far from being a left center country.

Those that think they are on the left is larger. When they support politicians viewed around the world as right wing, they too are right wing
Well if the right can’t win how would that be a fair system?

I wish I could play little league now, I’d kick ass.
Fuck, sarcasm is lost on this crowd.
