You can vote third party, the important thing is to be a voter rather than a non-voter.
Third party vote is a non vote in the US two party system.
Unless you're organized in your non-vote or 3rd party vote and can make a unified public statement like Perot voters or the Abandon voters then in the current US system what you're advocating for is worthless.
In the USA, voting 3rd party is just voting red. We learned this in 2016 when Clinton was a "sure thing" and voting for Gary Johnson was an ethical protest vote.
Hilary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016, and third party candidates had no appreciable impact on the race.
Trump won in 2016 because the electoral system in the US is batshit fucking nonsense
Go to any election and look at the total number of votes 3rd party get compared to non-voters.
