Yes.

Also, anything that isn't ranked choice voting that allows people to specify an order of preference at time of vote is not good politics and is not going to, and shouldn't, sit well with progressives. Tit-for-tat is additionally an issue that many voters and progressives consider objectionable (source: exit polls). You can call it basic politics if you want, but if you're progressive you'll need to accept that it's going to continuously cause us to lose elections and bleed voter support. People are clearly tired of establishment politics. Trump has proven that twice. Running as an anti-establishment candidate both times and winning, both times.
