How do plurality voting systems limit voters' liberties?

The plurality system actively serves to exclude any idea which does not appeal to the "average" or "centralist" voter. As a result, many views are excluded. This is an infringement of the liberty of all those citizens to have their views at least publically aired by a possible representative. The United States is a country that has a plurality voting system and a good example of how views are excluded includes those opposed to continual war in Afghanistan. Of the two parties, neither caters to this desire, even though it is quite a common sentiment in the US.
