I don't know. I know you are talking in general and not just this specific election, but for this cycle, if millions of people who would normally vote democrat are instead "brave enough to go for third-party", they are not just throwing away their votes. They would be helping Trump get elected in a landslide, and there is a credible risk they would lose the ability to vote at all in the future.
That's a fair argument. You're right, I'm talking generalities. I'm not American and it's easy to forget how close you guys are to a vote.
Big picture, yeah, there could be a movement. Realistically, it would only really happen if the voting system changed... Short of a major revolution or upheaval, that's not going to happen.... Sooooo....
