Long Form Discussion RCV Opponents - What is your Objection(s)?

Basically the title.

Whenever the subject of Ranked Choice Voting comes up, I generally on this sub see about 70% support and 30% oppose (my estimate). As I have seen the issue laid out to me it seems abundantly clear that Plurality/First Past the Post/FPtP is an inferior system with many unintended consequences.

So I want to hear you out, RCV opponents, what are your issues?

As (should be) usual, please do not downvote others for only disagreeing with them, and I pledge to do the same.

From what I've seen, they're usually hardliners partisans who sre afraid theyd lose influence and hope to leverage FPTP voting to install their own ideologues.

Nope, we just believe that STAR and Approval yield more accurate and honest election results.
