Which math infection is worse —
top 2 primaries
or
RCV aka IRV ???

PR and AppV – pending Condorcet
RCV in single winner districts guarantees one party rule so that is worse than top two.
Top 2 in CA = 2 D or 2 R in many election areas – State or Substate = one party rule {also]

Under IRV, only the biggest party wins, 100% of the time.
Under top two, the second, third, fourth, etc. biggest also has a random chance because of split votes when multiple candidates run.
No split vote phenomena under IRV, so no random wins by others, only the biggest can win under IRV in single winner districts. Guaranteed.
Any faction splits in some party gangs ??? —
2016 Clinton faction vs Sanders faction.
