Are you for or against ranked choice voting? Why?

I am for it. It ultimately presents the least objectionable candidate. I think it would really temper the extremes and possibly even break down limited party systems to free up more electoral choices.

I am for it in theory, but having watched the small sample size where it has been used here has given me some pause. IMHO, on the one hand it has saved us from some absolutely horrid first choice winners taking office. But OTOH the ranked choice winners have tended to be "safe", do nothing figureheads that stood back and watched while things fell apart.
