    All these people would maybe vote for your third party choice if they knew their vote won’t end up helping the candidate they deem the worst.

    great news, the only votes that help any candidate are votes for that candidate!

      Exactly, where with the current system votes for a candidate may end up getting someone else elected, and you get strategic voting instead of voting for what you want.

            if they refuse to support the candidate that leftists are supporting, and their candidate won’t support leftist policies, then their vote for a milquetoast candidate will end up getting trump elected just like in 2016

              I don’t know much about US politics so no clue who’s “they”, who are the “leftists” here, and who’s the “milquetoast candidate”. So not sure if you are agreeing or not. Either way my point is that ranked choice voting makes voting for less popular candidates feasible, and US seems to be a good example where it could help, though certainly not the only example.

                they being the people who support joe biden. leftists support candidates to the left of joe biden. joe biden is milquetoast.

                you can feasibly vote for anyone on the ballot.
