A LOT of the time spent being an adult is about making choices where only bad ones are available. You don't have to like one or the other but you have to be grown enough to recognize the difference between an orange hippo flinging shit around and someone who you can trust won't be taking an actual shit at the table during a meeting with heads of state
You start with mentioning choices where only bad ones are available, and then go on do reduce this one to two choices. Thats where the disconnect is. There are many choices, there were literally half a dozen on my ballot.
Politics won't change until we vote for it, and splitting between the two main parties and casting your vote against the one you hate most isnt working, clearly.
People need to be aware that just because people shout that there are only two choices does not make it true. In fact, I'd argue you should always be wary of what an angry internet mob is shouting on every single post related to politics.
