Yeah they do, and in hindsight I shouldn’t have exaggerated. But I think I make a strong point on how many democrats have this real way to get leverage on the GOP, and so often they choose not to use it. Mary Peltoa never would have won in Alaska without it, for example.
Plus the most common argument against it is one of its weakest “people are too stupid to properly use ranked choice voting!” and it’s hard to sell someone on a policy that goes “you’re a blithering idiot and will just be confused by the alternative.”
