FPTP doesn't work well at all for presidential elections. FPTP is infamously why George W. Bush became president. It's why we have a "two" party duopoly who want to keep it that way.
No objection to proportional representation, but that's a little further out than "can we vote for people who are actually good". It's a much tougher sell.
Same with the electoral college - sure it sucks, but that's not why otherwise good people vote for genocide.
