All 4 options lead to the same politician getting sworn in.

I don't agree with this, but I understand the sentiment. While I think, at the core of it, the folks at the top of both sides have the same goals in mind, I don't think the elections are rigged to that degree. Also, while voting 3rd party feels like a waste of a vote, I don't see it as one, since third party votes are counted, and can have some semblance of social sway. Not voting and voting for a party that you disagree most with will have the same effect however, since both pull the vote towards the candidate you like the least.
