Easiest way to get it is by finding a big-tent party that isn’t averse to change.
Once they dominate politics at every level, the big-tent will get full. That’s a highly unstable event…there will be infighting, and the party will begin to shatter. Then they will realize that the only way to preserve any of their changes is to switch away from FPTP, as that’s the primary reason we have two parties. Voting reform will become necessary, otherwise the former primary opposing party will get a foothold.
Know any big-tent parties that aren’t change-averse?
Do incrementalism by starting from localist changes. Minessota and Alaska already has ranked-voting and worked wonderfully for the locals. If these states could do it, so could others. American politicians tend to listen more to their electorates if enough mass pressure is applied.
alaska did a direct democracy initiative in a republican controlled state. Is there an initiative for alaskan style top 4 ranked choice elections in your state? Why not?

nope. why do you think Biden has been in politics longer than I’ve been alive, and most current federal senate/representatives are in long-term careers.
I don’t think it’s easy. I’m saying that’s a good way to begin with.

So incumbents keep getting re-elected?
Huh. Wonder what the fix for that is.
Vote.
Show me a “vote” that isn’t “thrown away” that doesn’t consist of voting for… that.
