How would we get ranked choice passed using the current two party system though? I can't imagine politicians voting to give up power in that way.

Maine has, and Alaska too. Although Alaska is trying to repeal it this election cycle.

How would that contribute towards changing the policy federally?

There is no federal policy. Elections are handled by the states. It's in the Constitution.
