the narrative of vote splitting presumes i would ever vote for your candidate. i wouldn’t. if any splitting is happening, it’s that you won’t vote for my candidate, and when i phrase it like that you will see how silly it is.
only a vote for a candidate helps that candidate. a vote for any candidate is a vote against all other candidates.
Demonstrably untrue, splitting the vote always helps the other party despite casting no additional votes for their candidate.

That is simply not the political reality we find ourselves in.
it’s the only way voting can work.
