SourceNo, it doesn't. It only helped with Clinton back in the day once because the two people who split the vote were sharing Conservative Values, and you damn well know that.
In short, it helps whomever candidate has the least competition when their competition is split, and that doesn't matter which side is what. Again, you damn well know that. I'd argue that Dump got the vote in the primaries that way because it was so torn up between 8 establishment Republicans and Dump. I think Dump rarely ever went above 40% in the total votes in each state durring the primary until it was down to him and/or Cruz.
There was enough missinformation out there to get one section of the voters to give up voting, and another section to go green... that hurt in Dems in 2016

Also, Democratic Socialist isn't the same as Stalinistic Socialism. If she did say that, she's talking about Stalinism... not Democratic Socialism.
