The only problem with Condorcet methods is that people aren't used to them. Get people using them for book clubs, school boards, etc first. Only when they're comfortable with it and trust that it can provide fair results will they consider it.
To that end, I built https://modernballots.com. It's difficult to get mindshare when it comes to these kinds of things though. Electoral reform activists are fractured between their own preferred methods. Kinda keeps things from going anywhere.

Perhaps if you named it something else and had people vote on more frivolous topics like hottest celebrity, best band, best city, etc.? Don't even mention politics at all.
