    Unless the elections are rigged any party has the same chances of winning

    Lol. WTF?

    voting a third party is as much action as voting red and blue is.

    Kiddo. The most popular 3rd party candidate in the last election (Jill Stein) got a whopping half of a single percent of the total votes cast. That means that there was absolutely, positively, categorically no path to victory for her.

    So yeah, voting 3rd party, in a national election, is literally pointless and equivalent to inaction.

    If you want to vote 3rd party in local/state elections, great. You HAVE to do that for a LONG TIME to start getting more than ZERO 3rd party reps in Congress, and making that 3rd party a household name, before it stands the remotest chance in hell of winning a national election, such as the presidency.
