To be fair, I didn't want Biden the first time either. He just happened to be not Trump. I'll vote Biden again, but I'm not pleased those are my only (real) options. We really need ranked choice voting here in the US....

there's candidates running that support ranked choice voting. why not vote for them?

Such is the abject failure of most voting systems in use that if you vote for a candidate who has no chance of winning, you're effectively making it easier for one of the two big candidates to win.

It's the same in the UK and I hate it.

You may as well vote for the ranked ballot itself...
