No, I'm sorry, that's dangerously naïve, and a self-serving, solipsistic moral panic. How old are you?
If we used RCV or anything better that winner-take-all, that would be different, or if we had a parliamentary system. But we don't.
Explain and distinguish both, then. I genuinely don't see it.

That's not what you said. Your original "only" indicates that you think that votes + splitting your opponents votes isn't a strategy.
If splitting votes didn't matter, there wouldn't be so much effort put into gerrymandering. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/REDMAP
Voting is a practical, strategic act, not an ideological one.
It's true, but Idaho, especially the northern Idaho panhandle, is particularly bad. There's a history of white supremacy, with the Aryan Nations compound that was located there, apparently funded in part by Sea Monkeys. Allie Brosh mentions living near them in one of her books.

True, but two copies is one, and one is none. Multiple backups are critical, especially as archive.org has been targeted by the last few book publishers, who want it gone. As politicians and news sites quietly modify their content and hope nobody notices, this should really be a service of the Library of Congress, too.
Weird that we're still doing "heiress", after abandoning "aviatrix", "actress", &c.
I did not attend the funeral, but I approved of it.
