    Surely you destroy one of the major entrenched parties by not voting for them and instead voting for someone else who can than take their place.

      someone else who can than take their place.

      That’s the kicker. If you don’t have a clean, single-cycle transition then you’re handing control to your worst enemies.

      If we’re going to fracture a party, let’s fracture the right. Destroy the worse one first, then siphon from the less worse one once the fracture takes.

      Yeah, it’s an absolutely unhinged argument to suggest that the only way to a multi-party democracy is to move to a one-party system first. They haven’t thought it through at all.
