Australia has ranked choice voting, does it not? I'd vote for the farthest left option too if the US had RCV.

I'm voting every single far left party before I even hit labour. If you have ranked choice voting may as well use it.

Yeah, that's why I don't understand people voting labor here.

It works pretty well, too. Sure there's still a two party situation going on, but recently the amount of votes not going to either is making it clear they're slowly losing voter confidence as the older generation fade out.

I think younger voters actually understand how important the senate is too and how powerful ranking it with some detail can be.
