Incidentally that's also the effect of not voting for the lesser evil, you can just cut out the two steps in the middle then.

So if you don't vote for the lesser evil it gets salty and joins the evil? Yeah i am not voting for that psycho manipulating abusive shit.

Not quite. If you don't vote for the lesser evil, it loses influence, which means the greater evil has it easier to shift things over in their direction and control the narrative. They've won after all, so clearly that's what the voters want. The lesser evil will take cues from this.

(It should also be said that this whole meme only really applies to shitty 2-party systems. In a proper parliamentary democracy, you have more realististic choices than "greater evil" and "lesser evil" and don't have to play this stupid game at all.)
