That ends up with the same fundamental issue as a third-party run. If I think the Purple Party's candidate kinda sucks but the Fuscia Party's candidate would be an absolute disaster, I'm incentivized to vote Purple instead of "wasting" my vote on an alternative that I don't think has a realistic chance of winning in order to avoid what I see as the worst case scenario. It's a natural side effect of a first-past-the-post voting system[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law |
