If you're seriously suggesting voting third party you do not understand how voting works in the US. It is literally a wasted vote -- even if 60% of the nation voted for a third party, the delegates are already pledged to one of the two main parties. The correct place to put that energy is in local elections and in a nationwide push for ranked choice or some other alternative to FPTP.
