Just to amplify the comments nearby: politics is more than presidential elections. In presidential elections, because of the US political system, you really do have just two choices. You may lament this - I have! But it's the world we live in. Saying you'll vote for a third party candidate to "register your complaint" is a null gesture. If you really care about politics, you'd have to work to push the party of your choice in the direction you want. This is long, hard work, and happens outside the presidential cycle. You have to march with signs, attend boring meetings, and persuade people you just met. Complaining about the broken system every four years is neither mature nor effective. I am moved to write this because, for multiple election cycles, I was that guy, until I realized my folly.
