Correct. The solution is representatives who support non-FPTP systems. Your options are Democrats (some have some support for non-FPTP), Republicans (passionately oppose non-FPTP because FPTP is the only way they win) and third-party choices who actively support non-FPTP (single digit percentages of voter share).
The only rational play is to vote D while doing everything possible to campaign to make those third-parties viable. Voting R is failure. Not voting is failure. Voting for non-viable third-parties is failure. D is a means to an end, necessary but not sufficient.
The case for getting rid of first past the post. Ranked choice, star voting, take your pick but we can and should do better, for democracy.

Correct answer.
If 3rd party proponents ACTUALLY want to do something. It needs to start at the local level and build up from there.
This shit of voting in the presidential election and thinking you’re accomplishing anything positive is sad…
