Ranked choice is stupid and not needed.

What is your argument for this? Personally, my argument would be that its level of complication might be too much for a general election. Overall, though, it can be quite good. At the very least, it should be better than FPTP.

Just let people vote for as many candidates they want and choose the one or the ones that get the most votes.

What you are describing is a voting system called "approval voting", which is actually quite good.
