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.
When you think about the reality, the DNC is the only party hurt by third parties. I doubt if any republicans decided to vote Green or Independent.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
