I have to assume he meant abolish first past the post for all national elections.

    Thats correct, I should have said, switch to ranked choice or similar.

    I was just checking. I have progressive family members who insist that ranked choice is actually an inferior method. I asked them to explain why and they just tell me that there are ways to game it that are too complicated to explain...

    They are quite politically involved but still, for some reason, trust the Democratic Party "old guard". Likely because they are their own generation and had a great life during their time in power.
