In the US, we don't have an FPTP system in practice. We have a duopoly of the two major parties, that nominate candidates through a combination of voter preferences and donor/establishment preferences (controlling funding and ballot access). The nomination process tends "electable" candidates, who could also be called insufficiently hated.
