I think you’re agreeing with me there. People want other choices, but they get ignored because they have no chance of winning.
It would be great if we couple coordinate and just try it one year, but change needs to be able to happen gradually too. Our system in practice actively punishes third party voting by your vote benefiting the major party you DON’T want.
I bet people would want ranked choice or similar if given the option. I think the establishment really doesn’t like that idea and actively works against it, though.
I just wanted to be explicit and generally push back against the notion that Americans don’t want other choices to vote for, especially in this election cycle.

Fair enough, yep, sorry for the confusion.
