Voting third party or for a fringe independent candidate is tantamount to doing nothing at all.
The voting system is specifically rigged so only one of two top contenders can win a given election. It's called "first past the post" plurality voting.

Yes, voting for an establishment neocon bootlicker Republican won't do anything. However, voting for a populist Republican might make a huge difference! Especially in a local election.
