Caramel Baloney: Vote Splitting Is Not Necessary with Approval and Range Voting

infohedon:

…

Actually, vote splitting is not inherent within voting for single-seat offices. It just happens that we use (quite literally) the worst election method possible—plurality. It’s also the least expressive—vote for one and shut up.

There are a bunch of voting systems out there,…

I like describing the plurality system as less expressive - I think that really captures the limitations of the system nicely.
