“Why would I vote for a primary party candidate who supports ranked choice voting when I can just throw my vote away on a third-party candidate that will never be elected? I’ve got principles!”
The Republicans move right during the general, and are sometimes pulled that way by the libertarian candidate (or rfk jr).
The Dems usually don’t get pulled left because they’re so focused on moving to the right during the general to try to get the moderate republican vote
Ranked choice voting seems like a great way to create huge political instability. Let’s take the system that has worked decent for 248 years and completely replace it with something less well tested. We already have uncertainty we don’t need to mess with the system more.
You don’t want to mess about with that democracy nonsense. We’ve had a monarchy that has worked decent for a millennium, and you want it replace it with some untested, newfangled system?

Because apparently throwing your vote away will somehow convince politicians to move left or something, despite all the evidence that it won’t.
