bringing a third candidate into a political race who has a less than a zero chance of winning, but for delusional reasons of "principal" this candidate joins the race and the result is the delusional candidate filters enough "statement" votes from the frontrunner to give the expected runner-up the victory.
Our best shot at winning this election is to Naderize a kook into joining the race to take votes away from our opponent.
To inflict equal damage on yourself while attempting to harm an adversary. Much like presidential candidate Ralph Nader did to himself and Al Gore in the 2000 election.
What a political activist who can never find fault with themself does when their non commital candidate loses in an election.
Usually they belong to one of the major parties and achieve their conviction using an independently accumulated vote total of one of the third party candidate(s )in the race and indiscriminately add it to their candidate.
Republicans used it when Clinton beat Bush 41 and Ross Perot votes brought the winning percentage down to below fifty percent of the vote.The recent Texas governor's election gave the incumbent thirty eight per cent of the winning vote while two independent candidates split the vote to give the democrat chris bell 30 percent.Activists in this race tended to "naderize" Kinky Friedman but the other independent garnered more votes than him.

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.
Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.
Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.
