Even while driving out a demon who had made a man a mute, Jesus was attacked by the "naysayers" who claimed he used the power of evil to work his miracle. Jesus pointed out that a "house divided" cannot stand, and it would be foolish to think that evil spirits would work against each other. No, it had to be good over evil, or nothing else. Either a person was for Jesus or against him. ""Whoever is not with me is against me. and whoever does not gather with me scatters." (Lk 11: 23). Jesus wanted clarity.
For centuries, we, as humans, have tried to dodge this clarity, seeking to live in the shadowy gray, thinking that we can muddle our way successfully through. It doesn't work. We can have understanding, compromise, and mercy, (highly recommended) but we cannot play with or fudge the truth to serve our own purposes. In so doing we open the door to victory for the evil spirits. But in siding firmly with Jesus, we clearly send them back to hell.
