Have you not heard about approval voting? Or do you not see it as another path to multi party elections?

Approval voting would be better than what we have now, but I think ranked choice is easier for people to understand.

I think putting preferences is more comforting to people than the idea of approving people equally if you have preference.

I strongly disagree. "Vote for one or more candidates" is even easier to explain than "sort all these candidates in the order of your preference".

And once you start trying to explain the potential adverse effects there's no contest. Approval voting today, tomorrow, forever.
