You cannot have perfectly objective, hard and fast rules for everything.

In this instance, you can: Nothing is outlawed because it is "obscene". If you don't like something, don't look at it. If someone is forcing you to watch, that's different - but the availability of something shouldn't be denied because some people don't like it. (Note: that works for drugs too)

In Australia, we effectively have this. You grade the candidates in your preference order. They then basically pick the least hated candidate. They look at everyone's first preference and discard whichever candidate got the lowest. All the people who voted #1 for them then have their #2 preference allocated to each candidates total and repeat the process until there is only 1 left, and that's who is voted in. I think it solves these problems very elegantly. You rank candidates in your actual preference order, and you don't have to worry about "wasting" a vote.

We may be half the size of California, but as a country we're one of only a very small handful European English-speaking countries (and I find Canada and the US hard to differentiate, and to be honest, NZ is extremely similar to us in all practical respects). This means that we are similar enough that our differences are cherished instead of feared as they are when they are TOO different in most other cases.
