Voting third party is telling the system that you don't have a preference between the two candidates who have even the slightest chance of winning. It sucks that there's such constrained communication one can do (and we need a better voting system), but in the short term, the three options I've listed are what you have the options to communicate.

The cool thing about independent thought is I dont have to ascribe the same value judgement or perspective as the DNC. Im able to vote closer to my principles by choosing a socialist candidate every time the DNC nominees move toward the right.

Bad faith lemmings will paint that as not caring about the outcome, but I can sleep at night knowing that when offered a choice between slow descent to fascism and rapid descent to fascism, I chose no fascism.
