Ranked choice (also known as instant runoff or IRV) is barely better than first past the post (which is plurality voting). A better choice is 3-2-1 or STAR voting, both of which outperform IRV by a huge margin. But even if those are too complicated for people, Approval voting is still better than IRV.

I'm a big advocate for approval voting.

I have been also, but I'm open to STAR and 321. The main reason I like AV is because it would short circuit two party dynamics completely.

Or even the D'Hondt method
