Yeah, I actually agree with you. Unfortunately the race is rigged to only give you two real choices, of which inevitably becomes determining which is the lesser evil. Also unfortunately not everyone agrees on what a lesser evil is.
The POTUS race is a lot less important than people think. Voting for local, state, and US reps are far more important.
Answer now is don't give in; aim for a new tomorrow.

Yes, it is "rigged" by that 95% majority that makes those two choices. And nothing can or will be done about it until each individual takes their own initiative to vote for something else.
This isn't human politics, it's animal psychology. Everything is done by reaction and peer pressure, no thought required.

Humans are animals.
Human politics is a subset of Ape politics. A subset of Primate politics; of Mammalian politics, etc.

Which is why if you want to have any shot at effecting it, you have to be involved in the primaries.
