Not if your INTENTION was to establish or strengthen a 3rd conservative party.

Then your vote would do EXACTLY as intended.

Not at all. The time for that is the primaries and between elections. In the general election 3rd parties are spoilers you wasted a vote.

Sorry, Sun, but you don’t build 3rd parties in primary elections.

The time for a 3rd party to gain name recognition is in the general election. That is the time to vote and have your vote accomplish something.
