Sure if everyone who liked A voted A, C might win, but thats because their policies have appealed to more people than any other singular candidate.

You're taking quite a principled stand that isn't founded in reality- maybe my example isn't clear enough- let's rename A "the Social Democratic Party", B "the Democratic Socialist Party" and C "The BNP".
And now explain to a black man why he should vote for A rather than B.
