At the same time, “what the population votes for is what the population gets” ignores that we are often only presented with crappy options to start with.

It does not ignore that, rather it explicitly takes that into account.

The caveat to my statement would ONLY be "so long as we're using this system."

Please focus more on accurate logic.
