I really wish that the US voting system did not rely on strategic voting, in which voters are basically forced to choose the lesser of two evils.

I am a huge proponent of ranked choice voting, and I donate to https://www.fairvote.org/. Politics have a wide spectrum of opinions and choices, and our government should represent that.

Ranked choice voting (instant runoff) is flawed and confusing to explain to people.

Score voting or approval voting is simpler and has none of the non-monoticity of instant runoff.

Unfortunately every voting system is flawed in some way and strategic voting is still rewarded. Not trying to sound like the current one is an intelligent option though, there are plenty of schemes that are strictly better, like the one you linked.
