I understand your point, but it still does not make your vote not wasted in a short run.
In a long run - sure. Lets say now 3d candidate gets 3% of votes, 4 years later 5%, 8 years later 8%, 32 years later maybe 25% and from then the 2 party system may start to crumble.
But I was just speaking in a short term, for this election there is absolutely 0.000000000% chance for Johnson to win. So in that regard (short term) it would be wasted.
And since these elections are already one of a kind with Trump (and not actual republican, so not actually traditional republican vs democrat bi-party scheme) - maybe you should postpone your "wasted-not wasted" vote for 2020.
