Ranked choice’s corner case is non-monotonicity, meaning you can harm your chosen candidate by ranking him higher. That’s why I prefer something like range voting.
Just saying something negative makes it seem like it’s a bad idea, but that just encourages people not to change at all. A voting system that tries to satisfy the Condorcet criteria will be far better than any FPTP system.
It’s easier to tear down than it is to build up. What’s your proposed alternative?
Did you make a similar comment to OP, who only spoke negatively of a well-used and well-understood system?
What is OP’s proposed alternative? What’s a realistic plan to get there?
Here’s what OP said in the body of their post.
Most european countries use 2 round elections or proportional representation.
Although I’m not sure when they wrote that. The post was edited, so it’s possible that it wasn’t there when you first saw the post, and didn’t re-check the post before writing this comment.
There is no voting system that fulfills all the Condorcet criteria; they all have some corner case

I also prefer range or approval voting
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good
What is your reason for saying that?
