It's literally ranked choice voting. There is hardly any spoiler effect unless there are so many candidates you couldn't possibly find the one's you want to vote for.

The Democratic primary was RCV. The general election will be FPTP.

Ah, fair enough. I genuinely thought it would be RCV, I guess I mixed them up.

But yeah, in that case spoiler candidates are a thing.
