Ranked choice voting is barely better the first past the post. We need approval voting like STAR.

I looked it up.

https://www.starvoting.org/

Give all candidates between 0 and 5 stars to indicate your support for them.

There are just two rounds: totals then preferences.

Stars are added up in the totals round, the two top starred candidates go through to the preferences round, where your vote goes to whichever candidate you starred higher.

Yep! Still 1 vote per person but it allows you to strategically vote and put all the least popular candidates at #5 while not ranking the ones you didn’t want to win at all.
