And the beauty of it is, when we win IT ACTUALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE! A substantial difference. Unlike now, in which our only choice involves how fast socialism advances.

How could that 5.1% win a run-off? The other 45% right of center vote will stay home because they are ideological purists like you. The liberal candidate still wins, but 95-5.
You must be using 'million man math', and logic. I am an idelogical purist who campaigned and voted for Bush. I did not stay home. I got out of my home and directed a campaign that placed over 5,000 flyers supporting Bush and a Republican congressional candidate. It was an effort that involved over 20 volunteers. What did you do, besides carp at "ideological purists"?
The conservatives will show up, if they have a conservative to vote for. In a run-off, it takes the responsible to show up. The libs would have to have an expensive campaign to bus their mindless dependents in. If half of all races were decided in run-offs it would bankrupt the Dems. Elections would be decided by the 15% of the electorate that was most responsible, US (except as regards to your characterizations of conservatives)!
