Your quote talks about how third parties brought about some changes. At no point did I say third parties have no place in us politics, nor did I say never vote for third parties.

Not voting or voting third party for POTUS does nothing. It’s just pure vanity.
So, you don't understand that the POTUS election is not the entirety of the us political system? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say here, you quoted two very obviously different things.
The examples I gave, 17th amendment, women's suffrage, progressive taxation, were pushed by third party POTUS candidates.
None of what you provided says anything about presidential elections.
Would you like me to link the exact candidates and elections?

You claimed you provided it, but did not.
I had previously quoted from this study, which is exclusively about POTUS elections, https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691026138/third-parties-in-america
And Hick's quote I believe is from his book the populist revolt, which covers James Weaver's third party run, https://populismx.commons.gc.cuny.edu/the-populist-revolt/
