Third parties fail in a fptp system unfortunately. The whole fucking system needs to be reworked. Whether that happens before everything falls apart is anyone's guess

I don't know that RCV would help either. I think you'd just end up with a conservative "centrist". I mean, anyone voting for Bernie voted for him in the primaries. You put Bernie, Warren, Biden, Manchin, Kennedy, DeSantis, and Trump into a RCV together, and I don't think you'll like where the moderate Biden votes got second or third if he were to lose. At best you would just end up with Biden again.
