If we replace First-past-the-post voting, we could easily see the republican party get replaced with a more reasonable conservative party like the democrats.

If Alaska can do it, so can your state!

You didn't have a choice, the economic system in the US concentrates power in the hand of people with money and they are fascists. If it wasn't 2024 it would be 2028 after 4 years of congressional stalling. The path the US is on is predetermined, they don't have to fix every election to the vote, they fix a percentage of them over the course of decades to push the policy to the right.
