Doubtful. The Democratic Party has more ownership of the base of the left than the Green Party does. This isn't just because the years of Nader have been long over but Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign in the 2016 Democratic Primaries.

Either Democrats win over the young idealists, or they end up being independents. Selectively, yes, there are centennials who are drawn to the GP, but I have yet to see they represent a sizeable percentage that this is the case.

I’m skeptical that Dems would spend so much effort to get the Greens off the ballot if the vast majority of them would vote for Trump as a second choice.

Yes, that is simply untrue. There are only a handful who would do that.
