The issue you are describing seems to mostly stem from the idiotic and unfair system of first past the post, Sweden has proportional representation, so I do end up voting for the party I mostly align with, even if it is a completely new party.
I have voted for several different parties in the three normal elections, even at the same election day.
Then we have the act of protest voting, as well as support voting. These are tactics you can use in a proper voting system with a healthy amount of political alliances.
People will socially and otherwise murder to keep proper voting systems out of the USA.

Yea I’m in Canada and it’s that problem. We should be 8-9 years deep into ranked choice or similar but our centrist party that ran on that promise fucked it up big time because they realized that they’d probably never win an election ever again. Their entire platform basically depends on the Conservatives being such absolute trash that no one feels safe voting for our leftist, progressive party.
