Targeted ads in politics seem like one possible line; Dem SC candidate Jamie Harrison has been fairly open about how mobilizing voters who lean right to vote for third party candidates will help him win. With a few ads like "[3rd party candidate] is TOO CONSERVATIVE for Congress!" delivered to the right audiences, you could swing margins meaningfully [his campaign has paid for such targeted Facebook ads]. It's disgusting bad faith, but it's in the bounds of the game for now, so not doing it is foolish.
