With ranked choice voting they can vote for whoever best represents their views. If there aren’t enough people voting for that person, then your vote would go to the next closest person to your views. And so forth and so on. In the end, imo the resulting candidate would have the closest views to the most people.

So how would you vote for the people to be voted for in the first place?

What you are gonna get is a bunch of puppet candidates specifically placed to dilute another candidates votes. You just complicate actually obfuscate the vote. So that the layman gets tricked into giving his vote to a turdbag. We already have a system where your vote can go to the next vote. It’s called the primaries. And most people don’t vote there.

Instead encourage primary voting.
