So you want a democracy as long as people who you strongly disagree with don't have a chance at representation then.

  That's not what I wrote. The concept is that, in a first past the post system, thanks to Hotelling's law, the trend is towards the center. That has both positive and negative aspects, and I was merely pointing out that there are some positive aspects. I'm not saying that the system in the US is perfect, either - it clearly has drawbacks as well. Just that there is no one perfect system, and that the US system does have some advantages.

    The trend in the US is not towards the center, if viewed from the outside.

  I'll answer for myself. I don't want a democracy, but if we have one, I certainly don't want the slightest bit of fascist representation in it.

    I'd rather have some fascists in the government than have the whole government end up as fascist in the attempt to make sure that they are absolutely excluded. As for not wanting a democracy, what would you prefer?
