Ranked choice makes it easy not to have to hold people like HW's feet to the fire. It is nothing but a gift to the spineless wishy-washy types in Washington.


I disagree. It gives a legitimate third party candidate a chance. Right now, the spineless, wishy-washy types pull the lever for a D or an R because they are afraid to waste their vote and will vote for the lesser of two evils. They aren't wrong.

Ranked choice is good for MAGA, Tea Party, and Bernie Bro candidates.

I don't know. It seems to me, it weighs real heavily in favor of candidates for whom lazy casual voters simply 'recognize the name' - hence the Murkowski clan's pushing for it in Alaska.

It certainly gives the illusion of a chance. But in reality it comes down to who gets the most second choices. No different than a runoff.
