The way to fight this is by voting and participating locally. Third parties are getting elected and alternative voting methods already exist in a few locations around the U.S. you can help by voting in more systems like that and maintain the candidates and systems you like locally. If we could get more people like you to participate locally we could actually get something done.
You’re problem is you want to live at the end of history and unfortunately for you we’re forever in the middle of it. Local action is the most effective and relatively slow. Instead you want to enable the larger of the two fascists that will inevitably be elected and then throw up your hands when it doesn’t work, blame everyone else, and never take any effective action locally.
This is it. Big change takes time and the wheels move slowly. This isn’t some simple issue that doesn’t cost anyone power like abortion rights or gay marriage, it is a game changer and has to slowly come into being without scaring the old people running the show.
Klaxon sound Wrong!!!

My advice doesn’t prevent anyone from voting in their local elections… In fact the two can be used together for the more zealous types.
Your advice only makes the world worse by enabling the worse fascists without the groundwork needed to make your protest vote meaningful.
