Yep, gotta remember this miserable corrupt system was intentionally concocted by enslavers in order to violently attack women, africans, natives, etc.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

FPTP: obvious to us, incomprehensible to candidates

We need to eliminate district-based Congressional representation.

To my way of thinking, if you have 20 congressional seats to fill, and the statewide voter split is 40% Dem, 40% GOP, 5% Pirate, and 5% Ninja, we should be sending 1 Ninja, 1 Pirate, 9 Dems, and 9 GOPs to the senate. When Ninja and Pirate voters are spread throughout the state, any geographic map you draw is Gerrymandered with respect to those two smaller parties: They can never win a single seat, despite voter numbers indicating they should split two seats.

Gerrymandering is inevitable so long as races are conducted within geographically-defined districts. No "independent" "non-partisan" commission can prevent gerrymandering. The best they can do is restrict specific forms favorable to the two major parties, while disenfranchising third parties and minority interests.

Every congressional seat needs to be filled in a statewide election. That might mean that in the primary, we vote for how many seats that each party gets to fill, and in the general, voters in each party decide how to fill their own seats.
