This has been a problem mathematicians have been trying to resolve since basically the beginning of humanity. Each voting system has flaws and it’s not really clear which one is the most “fair”. I still think we should try other systems or at the very least go into them knowing the draw backs and attempting to mitigate as much as possible.
Idk. There just has to be a better way than what we currently got.
Pretty much every way known to mankind is better than what we’ve got; it’s not as if we’re getting to constantly test new ideas and make a more perfect democracy.
FPTP is imposed on us by those in power. It systematically reduces the cost to subvert the will of voters. The system is inherently dichotomous, and third parties can rarely upset the dynamic.
You could do a lot worse than proportional representation and STAR voting

“The purpose of the system is what it does”.
