Neither am I. In fact, I'm mostly talking about legislative elections, where the use of the first-past-the-post elections in single-member districts produces both duopoly and about as unrepresentative of a legislature as you can get in a system which is even superficially democratically accountable.

People like to focus on the electoral college, but that's not really the main problem in the electoral system in the US.
