Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be. (lemmy.world)

Who do you feel you're "showing" anything with a protest vote?

I really don't know how to explain this further and at this point your questions feel very disingenuous.

It's not invisible to the people who need to see it.

If that protest vote is the only means by which you're hoping to accomplish anything on Election Day

Why would you assume that, other than that it's just what you want to believe? Do you also assume this about people who vote for Kamala and Trump?
