except it works in plenty of other countries. I'm not unsympathetic to the idea that the American public is unusually badly educated on civic responsibility, but I think they could be bought round.

It also doesn’t seem to work well; it addresses the problem of factions splitting the vote, but in a way that ultimately seems to redound to the benefit of the incumbent or mainstream party candidate or whatever.

The complaint that I've heard the most is that it can empower some buffoonish third party candidate no one has criticized as much as the two major candidates. That seems like the opposite problem to the one you're describing.

That's certainly speculative, as we haven't seen/compared countries with the best single-winner methods (score voting, approval voting) and best PR methods. https://www.rangevoting.org/PropRep But we think getting PR requires score voting first.https://asitoughttobe.wordpress.com/2010/07/18/score-voting/ …

This is probably just a matter of familiarity and experience. People will get a better intuition once they do it a few times.

I’m not sure what I think about RCV but have you ever read about Ron Rivest’s ballot idea “ThreeBallot”? it makes RCV look like something a baby could dohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThreeBallot …

3Ballot is about preventing fraud, not picking the right winner. Although it works well with score voting, which is already the generally best voting method.
