A political strategy to get voters to lose focus on the most appropriate and potentially successful candidate that is most likely to achieve their political goals. and represent them in a political body. Typically voter digression is used in a general election where the strategy is to get the voter to vote for a candidate that will siphon off votes or create voter apathy. The strategist can throw an election even from a popular candidate by taking a few votes away from the most popular candidate or one which can win a plurality. In a presidential election this is even easier since we don't elect the president directly. So a politician can win the national vote by millions but lose a few states if enough votes are siphoned off and they have less votes than the main opposing candidate, which may have radically different political goals. Sadly if the individual voter digresses to a lessor candidate (that may get less than 1% of the vote) because they want their vote to count, but in the process deny the most popular candidate and the one closest to their values the ability to win, and in the process deny the majority of voters their right to be represented.
While many rightly complain about voter suppression, the loss of an election may be more attributed to voter digression, in the form of voter abstinence or the siphoning off of votes by fringe candidates. Voters often do not realize they are in effect denying those most closely aligned with their political views the right to vote, since voting is a collective process that can only be won by a majority or plurality.

Pronounced Rob'n'me Hood.
Robnmey is derived from a campaign platform that demands lowering the candidate's personal taxes by millions. The platform also advocates reducing taxes for the richest 2%. These supporters in return are exceptionally generous.
While the proposal is inconsistent with the candidates demands to lower national debt, it does lower the burden on the candidate and supporters to pay their fair share of the debt.
The platform is a hard sell since it advocates reducing basic social/health safety net, increasing taxes for the majority of the public, including the poor and the middle classes, during times when the public is desperate.
The platform also advocates getting rid of many gov regs that require financial responsibility, enforce workers rights, environmental public health protections. When regs can't be avoided the platform supports outsourcing gov jobs to the private sector (and supporters), and to countries with fewer protections for citizens, or where dictatorships can swiftly deal with the problem of unrest.
The hood term is added when the candidate has partially covered up their real identity. E.g., when they are not transparent on how they made their money and how much they have paid in taxes. Lack of transparency is also true of their generous and unanimous donors, who avoid campaign accounting, and spending limits on mud slinging, libel and slander.
