I know what you’re saying, but what you’re waiting for as a sign is logically impossible within the constraints you’ve defined. If no one votes for 3rd parties because they aren’t popular enough then they will always be too unpopular to vote for.
The real work is down-ballot, and actually getting into politics yourself. The problem is that a life in politics has been made (I think deliberately) unpalatable to smart and principled people.

You don’t vote 3rd party when the alternative is Trump. You vote for the leftist during primaries.

That’s why you support ranked choice cannot initiatives at the same time.
