Lets say you and two other people were running for a position in some organization. Approximately 30% of the organization supports you, while 40% supports Candidate X and the remaining 30% support Candidate Y.
Candidate X holds very different views from you and supports many things you are not in favor of. Candidate Y shares some views with you, but has others views not in line with your own.
If you where to withdraw from the candidacy and endorse Candidate Y, they would gain approximately 25% of your supporters, while Candidate X would gain the other 5%. This would put Candidate Y in the lead, running 55% to 45%, a good lead but still nothing guaranteed.
Given that you favor Candidate Y over Candidate X, what would you do in this situation?
