MODERATORS
Yeah their argument here seems to be "they have alternative vote and look at their polarization" and it isn't clear at all how voting system is at all related to polarization.
The connection would be secondary. In FPTP, the blue team and red team play for "all the marbles", so more divisive language and negative campaigning are effective. In RCV/AV systems, being second choice on lots of ballots is a valid tactic, so in theory less negative campaigning.
Although this effect is likely as described, I can't help to think that in recent years the divisive effects of social media have far outweighed it.
I'll also point out that RCV/AV eliminated the spoiler effect. It also can lead to a "gateway voting system" to STV, which is probably my favourite.
IMO, FPTP << RCV/AV/IRV << MMP < STV.
