    Voting is not about putting your support behind a candidate

    this is the bit that i found most objectionable. almost all the rhetoric around an election talks about support: financial, popular, or political.

    voting is definitely supporting a candidate, pretty much any way you slice it.

      Yes, it’s to the candidtates benefit for voters to identify with candidates, it’s not generally in the voters interest.
