This is the year to do it. There is enough general dissatisfaction with the two parties that there is an opening for both the Green and Libertarian Parties to actually do something that's never been done before.
Which instead of spoiling one major party (Perot and Nader), they would spoil both.
Your wasting your vote if you don't use it to vote your mind.
Unless you can massively convince everyone to do vote for their actual best candidate, it's also very pragmatic.
From experience from other countries, the way shifts that allow a third party/candidate break a "duopoly" happen is slowly -- they incresingly get 5, 10, 15% of the vote, until a momentum builds and people start (rightly) feeling than voting for them doesn't just waste their vote and lets their least favorite of the 2 major candidates elected.
