I assume you're talking about the US and the reason the US is always voting between the lesser of two evils is because it's a FPTP voting system as well as a lot of convoluted old systems that need to be updated. The ability to throw your vote away is a failure of a democratic system and why the US is an oligarchy because the people you can vote for are determined for you and not selected by you.
