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.
