Libertarians and progressives should love ranked-choice voting. They can run their own candidates without worrying about handing the election to the "greater evil". (I'm trying to earn the label "Ranked Choice Voting Bro". How am I doing?)

you should know about Score, Then Automatic Runoff voting. "STAR Voting was created to better accomplish the goals of systems like RCV while addressing [issues with RCV]."https://www.starvoting.us/

RCV is basically score voting with an extra constraint on the scoring. I don't expect them to be that different in the aggregate most of the time. Kenneth Arrow did consider score slightly better, but I'll go with whichever method looks to have the most momentum.

True. There are some issues with constitutionality for RCV in some states which STAR can get around. Momentum ftw.

This is assuming sincere preference expression, right?

Though strategic voting causes a good chunk of the problems. It's hard to model strategic voting, but I'd love to see that covered, too. I agree that STAR is likely superior in both conditions, but IRV at least makes 3rd parties viable w/o the straightforward spoiler effect.

The thing about score voting is that it can transform into pretty much any of the other systems. The level of coordination needed to turn a score vote into a different kind is high, though. Only so many people are going to be persuaded to give a 5 to one, and 0 to the rest, e.g.

There is no perfect system, unfortunately (though score is probably the best). For instance, if you compare IRV to Borda, Borda allows "everybody's second choice" to be competitive, whereas IRV doesn't. But Borda is vulnerable to a "reverse spolier effect".

making gray middle grounds feasible over the polarization we see now is my threshold of 'enough'
