If she actually means it then she should be pushing for ranked choice voting. There’s no other way for politicians who aren’t part of the two major parties to win.

That's totally fine. The short term reason for a new conservative party is to split the vote and insure the MAGA GOP cannot win. The medium/long term goal would be to replace the GOP as one of the 2 major political parties, just like when the GOP replaced the Whig Party. The way this would happen would be for a significant number of incumbant GOP senators and congressmen to announce they are moving to the new conservative party.
