The trick is to support ranked-choice voting in the meantime

And primaries are the "real" elections to get us there. General elections will continue to be major party A vs. major party B, with a "this is the most important election ever" backdrop, while primaries are where we have to try to get our important issues (like election reform) carried by generally electable candidates to get those issues injected into the parties.

And the amount of money spent on primaries confirms how influential they are capable of being.

And voting for Democrats or Republicans will accomplish that?

No not really, but you can do both. Ranked choice voting has already been enacted in several places in the US and they didn't get there by electing third- party majorities
