> This distresses people who feel like such moderates are very far from their own views

It pisses off people who don’t understand compromise.




They don't want to compromise, agreed.

But they know they live in a state where any presidential candidate with (R) next to their name can win by 10-20 points. So they wonder how such a state can elect a Democrat without something underhanded going on. A working theory is that the RCV system is "too confusing" for some folks and it leads to the D candidate winning an "undeserved" victory.
