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.

Get the Voter Digression mug.When someone plants the idea that candidates that have no chance of winning, who are not very popular except as potential cult figures are the only legitimate choice to vote for. They really don't take into account the fact that these candidates are often narcissistic and only put in enough effort to spoil and election. The voter inseminaters often play to one's guilt and plant the idea that a person will be going against their better angels if they don't vote for these no chance of winning candidates.
Sadly the most popular presidential candidates have actually won the popular vote but lost the general election and were later considered to be losers because they did not win the electoral college. The cult candidate only getting enough votes to through the election is often considered a villain.
Sadly inseminated voters often slowly watch much of what they took for granted dismantled and things get worse - wars, broken economy, their jobs, environmental deterioration, human rights violations, justice system failure, pandemics, racism, homophobia.

In many cases very derisive candidates employ the practice of voter insemination to siphon a popular candidates votes off. Many times the voter inseminaters are able redirect the most extreme activist to volunteer tirelessly for some fringe extreme cult figure who they feel better represents their concept of utopia.
In extremely rare cases voter insemination has a positive benefit if people are inspired to actually vote in an election that they may not have otherwise bothered to do. While their vote of the non-viable candidate may be clearly wasted they may vote in other elections on the ballot for candidates that would not have occurred otherwise and so make a big difference in close elections that have candidates that are more closely aligned with their values.
In some cases voter insemination fails completely and the voter instead becomes overly apathetic and refuses to vote for any candidate because they don't want to participate in a corrupt system. This can have a really negative effect on all levels of government especially when good people don't participate.
