I support third parties but I'd not vote for them because then the vote doesn't count. Voting in local elections is another story though and especially in safe state elections. Third parties should force parties to the negotiating table for running as a coalition when they have enough support.

The votes count. I know because I worked elections and saw votes counted and then saw the tally released by my local election board that reflected those votes.

How exactly should third parties accumulate enough support to force the two main parties to the table if people don’t vote for them?

You do, just not during the presidency.
