That's a great way of putting it. To spell it out a bit more for people who are unfamiliar: the Forward Party is very interested in ranked-choice voting [0] because they believe it will lead to healthier politics. It makes it easier for candidates from outside the 2 major parties to run, by eliminating the spoiler effect. And it reduces a candidate's incentive to viciously attack their opponent, because they're hoping their opponent's supporters might list them as their #2 choice.
