We gotta figure out how to get out of the nasty self-reinforcing cycle we're in. Yeah, we absolutely need ranked choice or some other fair voting system, but is that likely with the amount of money that goes into elections these days? But can we get money out with the politicians we have right now?
The usual avenues seem useless - we need to find another way to enforce change.
That was exactly my thought when OP said to "push for" legislation. How exactly? If "representatives" only listen to money and votes, and the people have no money, then the only way to push is to vote differently.
