It seems like you've decided you are powerless, so you are. You don't want to work at a local level to build up third parties who would agree with your policies.

There are third parties that agree with me, such as PSL. They're even on the ballot in many states. You just told me to vote dem though, meaning you aren't telling me to vote third party anyways.

For the president. We need a coalition of antifascists to beat Trump. Locally? State level? He'll, for the nomination? Go third party, and God bless. I desperately hope that politics swing left, and soon. Medicare for all, support for Palestine, women's right to healthcare, LGBTQ+ rights, trans rights, investment in green energy, education and infrastructure, taxing billionaires, and UBI to fight automation and AI (although UBS is better to keep the UBI from just ending up in the riches pocket). But this year? I'm getting behind Harris. She's a step towards that. Trump is a huge step towards fascism. Harris isn't perfect, but the left NEEDS to see she is materially better than someone saying that Christian fundamentalists won't ever have to vote again.
