So you say "If people *really cared about the issue, they'd be demanding change." From the absence of that demand, you conclude that "a majority of Americans do support this election system", but the latter does not follow from the former. There's a huge difference between supporting something and being indifferent about something. Also:

There's also a meaningful difference between being indifferent because something is not a priority or it appears infeasible to change, vs. being indifferent because it really doesn't matter to you were it the only thing on the agenda.
