All good points, but the US is still in bad shape with regard to understandability of results. The electoral college makes it routine that the winning candidate is voted for by a minority of citizens. The fact that we still have bloodless transitions indicates to me that the risk you raise is overstated. I think if it was replaced with something like ranked choice we would see an improvement in both desirability and understanding of results.
