I'm all about ranked choice voting. Don't advocate spoiler voting, spend the next four year term working on getting ranked choice voting initiatives off the ground. Also Jill Stein really seems like a Russian plant anyway based on the photo that's been circulating around so even if we had RCV I wouldn't be voting for her...

RCV still has spoilers, it's just they happen differently. Mostly commonly in three-way competitive races, but they can technically happen under any number of candidates greater than two with any level of support.

Cardinal methods don't have mathematical spoilers, though a new candidate can change voter behavior. But, that's possible under any system.
