Smart Republicans.... there are a few.

The history of third parties in the US is that they fade as election day nears.  But, far be it for me to destroy your fantasies.  It's your time.  Waste it if you wish.

Well, I'm a realist, not a fantasist. I don't think my vote will actually help Johnson win the Oval Office. But I do think that not voting for either of these twats 1) comports better with my political sensibilities, 2) sends a message, if it is joined with other third-party votes (of whatever stripe, I don't care, break the 150+year two-party dominance!) and 3) gives the party a better chance at scoring Federal funding.

You keep on voting on your treadmill as you have for decades, and bemoaning the fact that things aren't changing. Maybe one day you'll ask yourself why ... hopefully by then it won't be too late.
