Split it faster and make it even harder to regain those votes, leaving the field open to the fascists who stick together.

Under an FPtP system, starting a new party is only a benefit if they can take basically all of the Democrat votes with them and encourage a good percentage of those who didn't vote to vote for them. Many elections have been pretty tight, so even a small reduction in the Democrat vote risks just handing those to the republicans.
