As I'm in a deep-red state, my vote doesn't ultimately matter so a symbolic vote for a third party is more important for me. Dismantling the current system is more important to me than voting for the lesser evil, especially if both efforts will end up in vain.

Voting third party does absolutely nothing to dismantle the current system. The way voting in this country is set up and the way legislative districts in this country are set up will always result in things coalescing into two parties, even if there can be a temporary state of flux when one party falls apart and things re-align. At best, a vote for a third party helps contribute to throwing things into that state of flux (But realistically, not happening), and then the system carries on as it has been.
