I don't know, I'm just questioning the quality and magnitude of the signal sent by voting for a third party.

The public memory is so short and so malleable, people forget things week over week let alone the entirety of an election cycle.

The issue with third party voting is a classic case of the problem of coordinated collective action.

Would-be voters don't participate out of perceived futility or participate in the dual party system for similar reasons.

I don't know how to solve it but there does seem to be growing agitation in the electorate with the current system as it stands, with the Electoral College under public scrutiny and with media support. To me that is a signal that times are changing.
