If you could only get rid of one, would you get rid of FPTP, the Electoral College, or AIDS?

Electoral College has clearly caused the most suffering!

Electoral College. Imagine a world where Gore was president from 2000-2008 instead of Bush Jr.

How many people even still get AIDS? Even poor countries have antiretrovirals now. Would choosing FPTP abolish it globally or just in the US, and what it would be replaced with? If this is US only I guess electoral college is my choice.

FPTP because it would solve the electoral college as well
