    Prove it.

    To denounce a candidate is to say that you shouldn’t vote for them. To vote for a candidate who you say doesn’t deserve a vote is self-contradiction.

    Define “tactically correct”.

    A tactically correct action is an action that best furthers your goals.

      To denounce a candidate is to say that you shouldn’t vote for them.

      Or you can vote against them.

      To vote for a candidate who you say doesn’t deserve a vote is self-contradiction.

      They deserve a vote solely for the reason that doing so is the only possible means of voting against the other candidate. It’s not a self-contradiction.

      A tactically correct action is an action that best furthers your goals.

      What are the goals in this scenario?
