No it's not.  There are *many* ranked-choice, preferential voting systems,
and misusing the term to refer exclusively to IRV is dishonest and
harmful.  Many of the other ranked-choice systems are much better, and
you're intentionally misleading people into thinking that IRV has the same
benefits that they do (or that there's only one type of reform, and the
only options are to get behind it or not).

Hopefully this trend reverses, as more people do their research and realize
that IRV is a sham "reform" that only perpetuates two-party domination.

FairVote could do so much good if they threw their marketing weight behind
a voting system that actually worked. :(
