    On paper it’s a vote for Jill, but in effect it’s a vote for the party you dislike more. Are you more of a practical person or more of a person concerned with technicalities?

            That is literally not how they will be counted. You’re still not getting it. There would just be a practical effect of your vote working against your adjacent interests.
