Haha yes we have exactly 2 choices. "Democratic" elections.

  The system is certainly biased towards having only two presidential candidates. (If one candidate is too similar to another candidate, they split the vote, and the most dissimilar one wins. That is the intrinsic design of first-past-the-post voting, and is a reason why we should get rid of it.) My advice is to turn the focus local, where you can have more of an impact. The President of the United States is accountable for 330 million people, so your individual views matter very little. In your own congressional district, or city, or state, though, representatives are more accessible. You just have to decide what problems you want to solve and who can do it for you. Very often, the President doesn't have that power, so you probably don't have to feel too sad about not liking the choices.
