Sometimes people think "strategic voting" is just voting for the lesser of 2 bad options, but not always. For example, if enough people vote for a specific spoiler candidate, it can deliver a message to one of the two major parties that they need to change. It might contribute to losing the current election, but who cares if the person you're hiring for the job is just as bad but has a different letter next to their name?

You don't always vote for the spoiler, but in certain instances, at certain moments, it can fundamentally change the conversation. If you get 5% of the vote you were supposed to get 0% of, everyone's watching.
