Last night proves you wrong.
Voting third party is no more flushing your vote down a toilet than voting for a liberal republican. And it helps get rid of liberal republicans.
Republicans may have been conservative a long time ago, but that day is gone.
Anyone voting for a liberal republican is a liberal, voting for a liberal, and they will get liberal government.

Here in CA they instituted the blanket primary which effectively eliminates third party choices in any event for the general election.
Correct.
