Ranked Choice Voting

We will explore a hypothetical election to demonstrate how ranked choice voting (RCV) is designed to thwart the clear will of the majority. Let us pretend you have a Presidential election where RCV is in use. You have a Republican candidate, let us say Donald Trump, a DemocRAT, for argument's sake Joe Biden, a Communist, and a Libertarian. A Biden supporter or a Communist for that matter will not want to cast a vote for Trump or the Libertarian at all, but in being forced to select, since you can't place Biden as first choice, second, third and/or fourth, but only as their primary selection, do they choose the Communist as number two or Trump or the Libertarian? In any event, they only really support their man Joe. By the same token, who does someone who only really wants the Donald pick as his next three choices and in what order? We could have a situation where somehow a Libertarian or the Communist prevail because voters do not know what arcane sequence of ranking would result in the man they actually wanted winning. You could easily have the second choice of many but first choice of few defeating the individual that received the most first place votes. Americans want to pick winners, without caring who second through fourth place are, because we generally regard everyone who is not the champion as losers.
