that number can lead to more people becoming comfortable leaving the two-party system.

I vote third party for that reason. I started voting third party with that expectation multiple elections ago, but I no longer have any delusion that people are going to follow the way I think just because I put it concretely.

I'm already planning on doing as you suggest, but without any belief in the consequentiality of it. Ultimately, my state will be won by a margin of 500k+ votes, and my vote for the PSL will mostly just make me feel good, and be able to say i-voted for PSL .

As someone who voted third party in the 2016 election and watched absolutely nothing change and nothing was even learned, I'm telling you to put your hope in more productive places.
