First past the post systems generally devolve into two party systems. Unless we change that at the very least, two parties are essentially the only options. Switching to ranked choice or approval would help for House positions and likely at the state level.

At least some states are adopting ranked-choice voting. I much prefer approval voting, but at least it's better than FPTP.
