Hm... I don't know what the system there is, but generally runoff election requires the winner to get more than 50% of the votes. That means that even if you vote for the most obscure party, you are making the best performing party take less of the votes percentage wise. So you don't need to strategically vote for the lesser evil, as long as your favourite is in the ballot (which is before the actual runoff).
Yes absolutely. I'm just pointing out the case of Argentina, as some arguments are made that "the same thing Milei did can't be done in America due to the two-party system", but our "runoff" is degraded with that "margin rule" that brings the two-party logic back.
If taken by the proper definition, as you suggest, yes, it would be an ideal system for both countries. Sadly, none of both have it.
