>I hear many people say ranked voting will solve problems. Not one has explained to me how that will happen.

It favorises moderate options, which should help with the polarization issue the US currently have.

Edit : Also, it's easier for smaller parties to get votes with ranked choice voting.

So what that that smaller parties get votes - that does not change they still will not be a elected.

Your other explanation is why I asked the question in the first place. Your reply was - "it should" but no details how. Ranked choice - vote 1 slot for polarizing candidate - don't vote for any one else. my biggest issues with Ranked choice there is no standard in how would. Without a standard there is no way you can determine if it will change anything or nothing at all.
