I didn't see anyone imply they are a force for good, the best I've read so far -and my own opinion- is they're the less terrible terrible option, and as one of the two has to win each time you might as well pick the 'better' option

Because voting for the Green Party wouldn't have given the Green Party a win. Voting for the Republican party might hopefully send a message to Democrats that some people don't like establishment (military industrial complex) politics.
Hasn't the Green Party always been a long-shot third party? Why did the condition 'if the Green Party won't win, then I'll change my vote' only take effect in 2020?
Wouldn't continuing to vote for the Green Party have been an effective message, to both Democrats and Republicans, that some people don't like establishment politics - while also supporting the Green Party?

It's the reason why I voted for the Green Party.

So, voting for the establishment is how you send a message that you're against the establishment?
People have different definitions of 'establishment'. As I noted in parentheses above, I believe the establishment is the wealthy elite who support the military industrial complex, which is why I don't think Trump is part of the establishment, and which is why I think the establishment media are against him. Biden, on the other hand, is clearly a war hawk.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

You make a fair point. But to me, Trump was the first anti-military industrial complex President we've had, and I like that about him.

maybe, but personally I don't think voting is as powerful as propaganda insists. We're made to believe voting is basically the sum of our political duty to our country, personally I think voting is a very minor act that is often preferable to not voting, but in a 2 party system where both parties represent more or less the same interests, you can't really influence politics with your vote. Other actions -especially at a local level- have way more impact, but the more impactful a political act the more taxing it is. Real positive change often comes from labor movements and community organizing, I think we're so jaded by voting because we've come to place too much importance on what is a mostly trivial act.

Trump increased military spending, has conducted record breaking arms deals with foreign nations, assassinated foreign military officials, wanted a military parade to uphold the appearance of a strong MIC to foreign nations, etc.
These hardly seem like the actions of an anti war president. We're lucky the assassination of soleimani didnt lead to an all out war on its own.
Seems like you are going off trumps one comment about generals wanting war so manufacturers can stay happy as a sign that trump is anti war. It's not.

sadly no, voting isn't our most powerful tool to resist. Both parties are robber barons, to use your term, and one of the two will win each election whether or not you chose to vote. Even if you organize a mass anti-voting movement, it won't matter, as one of those two will end up victorious whether its with 70 000 000 votes or 7

Hes been accused of plenty of sexual assaults/rapes. Dont be a hypocrite. Trump is a vile human being. I'm not going to go through it all so you can gaslight me on every little horrible thing hes done. The fringe right had their fun for four years now they can go fuck themselves lol.
