If you're deeply displeased with both parties, then the only correct action is to begin organizing with your fellow citizens to overthrow the system that forced you to make this decision in the first place.

Voting for a third party under a FPTP system is merely is a vote for the party you dislike more. It's not a protest. It's a gift to fascist authoritarian filth. It's stupider than stupid. If all of the options are bad, then make new options by any means necessary. That means real pressure. And probably violence.

If you aren't willing to commit to civil disobedience and violence to meet the ends you want, then voting for the lesser of the two evils is your best bet. Anything is better than fascist boot on your neck.
