Fptp is the cancer that has continually lead us here... people are afraid of voting for whom they want ad they think it's a throwaway... ranked choice allows at least the illusion of choice... my cynicism will not allow me to think things can actually change.
I feel like at least two of those aren't a voting issue as much as a scumbag-candidate issue.
A plurality voting rewards a certain amount of 'scumbagishness'. Under a better voting system, scumbags would be less likely to win.
I'm all for the system, despite its flaws. This 'would' stuff, though; how's that not magical thinking? Are we making a leap?
Hate the player, and the game.
