Wouldn't it be great if you didn't have to vote for the least horrible candidate? If you could vote for who you wanted without feeling like you're throwing your vote away?
If we had ranked choice voting, we'd have better legislators in office to start with. And if they used it in the speaker votes this could be resolved already.
Not the person you responded to but I think there are some systems where your last choice can be a "party" rather than a person.
