    Not by voting for people in elections they can’t win. Vote at the local and state level or in primaries for people who will enact voting reform.

        I don’t know where you live so I don’t have any relevant suggestions, sorry.

              You know that’s not how elections work

              WTF are you talking about? That’s exactly how they work, and its what the person I replied to suggested I do about it.

              here are some lists of third-party candidates in the US:

              This is just a list of people I’ve been repeatedly told in this thread that I should not vote for…?

                This thread, specifically this comment, is telling you you should vote for alternative parties at state and local levels. The idea is to build up that third party’s actual presence in government from the ground up, which is a far superior strategy to splitting a critical presidential race and feeling like you’ve accomplished anything good.
