Get the votes and see what happens before you claim that it wouldn't matter even if you got the votes.

The greens and libertarians are way off the mainstream on a whole host of issues. Can I vote in favor of privacy without also kicking abortion and civil rights and all those things back to the states, who made a mess of them? Can I vote for privacy without also voting for unions? Neither the greens nor the libertarians offer a credible alternative.

People broadly believe in a strong central government. People broadly believe in social security and Medicare and the department of education. People broadly want a strong defense and a powerful military. Get on board with all those things and then see if people are receptive to your views on individual liberties and privacy.
