Eliminating the communist/fascists, whether "democrat" or "republican" branding, is of course most necessary... but nothing would send the message more clearly than voting for actual libertarians of "Libertarian", "Constitution", "Independent", or whatever branding.
If you want to start getting an alternative to the sides of the same coin, demand something different. If there's ever been a time more obvious than now that the Republicrats aren't worth supporting (it's actually much worse than 'worth supporting'), I don't know when you people will ever wake up.
There's a lot of circus out there going on.. trying to get you to feel hope & change is a comin around the corner.. just sit back, and trust them. Meanwhile, they're picking the bones of this carcus.
Please remember:
It was the Pauls' who brought up ending, or at least auditing, the Fed.
It was Dr Ron Paul who brought up eliminating the useless, destructive, anti-liberty, enslaving, intel agency known as IRS.
It was Dr Paul who opposed imperial war expansion, and who the troops overwelmingly supported.
It was Dr Paul who opposed Patriot Act & Military Comissions Act. Torture. Spying. Bail outs.. etc. etc. etc..
But most obviously, it's been the bought and paid for communists in the Republican Party who have subverted the president as of late... one more noteably dancing for us so that we might forget that fact, and mistake him for an ally going forward.
The Republican Party denied us Dr Ron Paul, just like Hillary's Democratic Party did to Bernie. They never wanted Trump. Trump is foolishly trying to win over the corrupted, & owned, organization now.
I suppose when you're in prison, you ally yourself with some disgusting people so that you're not alone. Well, when you dance with the devil, the devil don't change.
Power corrupts. Everything that can be corrupted, will be corrupted. The Republicrats have been owned, and playing us, for a long, long, time.
If you can find a person who understands and respects liberty, and the Constitution, in any party, support them first over any brand name. The branding is only there to limit our options, and control the stupid.
Don't be stupid. Don't keep doing the same thing expecting different results. Vote for liberty, as is your duty.

There is an abstract truth to what you say, and there is an argument that can be made that what you advocate would have had a positive effect at past junctures as well as future ones. Therefore, I understand where you are coming from in the abstract. But it's too late for the past and if we want further opportunities to do so in the future, then in the present, this time, the point is to Just. Beat. Dems. Not because the other guys are stalwart exemplars (they aren't), but because the only chance of effecting this wider shift (at least peacefully) is via the plan that gets mocked so often around here.
Perhaps those scoffers are correct and it is all a psyop, an option I still hold to be quite the possibility. But if it is, then we won't have to worry about your way or mine because both options will be closed down. In short, if this is the ultimate bait and switch, the ultimate Lucy pulling away the football from Charlie Brown, then they will win because they have pulled off the greatest demoralizing coup in history. The result then will be either total acquiescence or nihilistic outrage and going out with a bang,
But if Q is real, if the EO that goes into effect in 1/19 is legit and the sealed indictments are real, and all the rest, then in order for that to finish moving into place, the momentum cannot be squelched by the dems taking the house and throwing the endless spanners in the works via that victory. So, for this time alone, the one and true necessary tactic to make the strategy workable without complete societal breakdown is Just. Beat. Dems.
