Yea, that's right. To add: the argument that focuses on voters' individual behavior ignores the system within which they make their choices i.e. gerrymandering, private political parties, FPTP, winner takes all, Citizens United, Super PACs etc. It is a very low-IQ take to place the blame solely on the voters, and those unelected, unaccountable people who design the rules of the system would like everyone to have that take.
