I can agree that First Past the Post is suboptimal. I can also believe that we must improve the current system until First Past the Post is replaced, which might be never in the United States and certainly going to be a difficult state by state issue. The leap from the First Past the Post to STV seems insurmountable in the face of how hard the GOP is clinging to power with voter disenfranchisement with the same old tricks of hurdles to voters of color along with this 2010 50 state strategy that led to the extreme gerrymandering. (Having the Democrats be incompetent enough to have the GOP loudly proclaim their strategy in the editorial page of the New York Times pre election and still not react is another issue.)
