    As opposed to ranked choice where no candidate gets a plurality, both progressives get eliminated, and the second choice “neolib” votes win? Because “the neolib” is also getting a fair amount of moderate and even conservative votes.

    At which point “the neolib” flips everyone off and wins? As opposed to needs to convince the two progressives to support them in exchange for platform concessions?

    Ranked choice would say that those 60% prefer one or the other progressive with the neolib being last. The result is theore popular progressive won, and more importantly, a progressive won.

    Or we can just simplify your post to “under this system, people will vote the way I want them to” and leave it at that?
