While I don't necessarily support it, there are good arguments for it. First of all the argument that it is not proportional is flawed in a sense. It is based on the Congress. Using logic against it, you would have to be in favor of making the Senate proportional as well.
More important, there would be no "safe" states where people who are afraid to vote third party, would be less inclined to vote third party since voting D or R in safe states is clearly a wasted vote. Thereby it would further cement the corrupt two party system.
Support IRV or approval voting which could help third parties and then worry about the electoral college.
