I don’t consider it splitting hairs at all. That particular myth - that voting third party or abstaining is “voting for the other guy” is one of the most insidious ones around, right up there with “You have to cater to the middle!”

My uncle, in the 80’s, lost the Mayoral vote in our town by 1 vote. My two sisters didn't vote because they went to a concert and thought he'd win anyway. So not voting can make a big difference.
