Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be.

Ranked choice voting seems like a great way to create huge political instability. Let's take the system that has worked decent for 248 years and completely replace it with something less well tested. We already have uncertainty we don't need to mess with the system more.

You don't want to mess about with that democracy nonsense. We've had a monarchy that has worked decent for a millennium, and you want it replace it with some untested, newfangled system?
