At local level. Organize school board, dog catcher, judges, city council, planing commission, library board, community college board, do what the right wing does

do what the right wing does

This is really key, though the state level is probably most important. If your voting activism doesn't go beyond the presidential election, it's performative at most. A third party candidate without members of their party is state houses and Congress is going to be fairly ineffective even if they somehow did do the impossible and get elected.
