STAR vote to make parties irrelevant except at the coalition building level!
Finally, yes! Anyone who wants to vote for a third party should instead spend their time and effort fighting for a different voting system (ranked choice, star, etc) that could mathematically allow a third party to actually succeed.
"Fighting for" is leaving a lot up for interpretation here.
You're right. In another reply I said that voting third party might move the needle for RCV, but it's iffy.
