This problem is a property of the way elections are done. Take a look: https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

There are alternative voting methods that can solve this. Ranked Pairs and Schulze are my favorites, but Instant Runoff would solve this problem as well.

Edit: format

Isn't that specifically about First Past the Post? (which is mainly only used in places that were once British)

In Brazil we use a 2-round system where, if no one gets the majority, the 2 most voted will run the second turn. And it leads to the same problem.
