This is all assuming we stay a democratic Republic with freedom.  Assuming that, we are just trying to solve the problem of how to elect representatives who will compromise and build consensus.
Second of all, the minority often wins in the system we have now.  The plurality always wins, but the plurality is usually not a majority.  The system we have now has spoilers like Ralph Nader and Gary Johnson making it so no candidate has a majority.
