Yeah its pretty gross that the left is against ranked choice and it also somewhat validates the whole Trumpist "uniparty" conspiracy theory. I do think its coming in the future as most younger people I know are totally supportive of it if I bring it up with them. I also think it would increase voter turnout in younger demographics as well.
All in all I think its important that we as a society bring more people into the political conversation. I want conservatives and liberals in the same room disagreeing more. I think that would help more than any other single thing.
With respect to ranked choice, that would certainly help a lot, except that both parties by now have realized that it is a threat to their dominance. You kinda expect that from Republicans, but there have been a slew of pieces critical of ranked choice and basically everything other than winner-takes-all from the left as well lately, accusing it of being racist etc.
