The system is rigged against party outliers like Yang etc. I know you mean well, and you have good intentions. But, the system doesn't work and it's a total waste of time. This has been done many times before.

Also Yang is pretty wacky, and mainly appeals to young, and naive people that haven't figured out it's all just a big charade.

You know the Democrats rig their primaries, right? Because they do. How do you think Hillary won the last one?

Court Concedes DNC Had the Right to Rig Primaries Against Sanders

On August 25, 2017, Federal Judge William Zloch, dismissed the lawsuit after several months of litigation during which DNC attorneys argued that the DNC would be well within their rights to select their own candidate. "In evaluating Plaintiffs' claims at this stage, the Court assumes their allegations are true - that the DNC and Wasserman Schultz held a palpable bias in favor of Clinton and sought to propel her ahead of her Democratic opponent," the court order dismissing the lawsuit stated. This assumption of a plaintiff's allegation is the general legal standard in the motion to dismiss stage of any lawsuit. The allegations contained in the complaint must be taken as true unless they are merely conclusory allegations or are invalid on their face.

"We heard loudly and clearly yesterday from Bernie supporters that the process was rigged, and it was. And you've got to be honest about it. That's why we need a chair who is transparent."
