With all due respect, and if you are willing to accept an outside perspective - you should focus on getting shot of that two party system of yours. I know that's taking a lot of work, effort and banging your heads against walls. But it's abundandtly clear that these parties aren't willing to move.
That's not going to happen. It's a non-starter.
Getting rid of Trump and his ilk will have to happen within our two party system. It's also worth noting that if Greens would have all cast their votes for Hillary, and half of Gary Johnson's voters would have done the same, we wouldn't be looking at President Trump right now. If anything, at least for the next decade, third parties need to be completely eschewed.
If Hillary would have won, and if the Senate would have flipped Democratic (and we easily had the numbers for it), the Republican party may have very well disintegrated from such a blow. But as it stands, they've been re-solidified because Democrats didn't show up and vote. Third party voters only exacerbated the situation.
