Right, but what if we can have both? As I've said numerous times, I'm in a "safe" state, possibly one of the safest states for Democrats (Massachusetts). Trump will never win my state. My vote (or rather, my wife's vote) is a chance to try and end the two party system by getting another party enough popular vote to qualify for the debates in the next election.
I'm not in the business of telling people how to vote, unlike some Clinton supporters here I could name, but if you are in a safe state for either Republicans or Democrats, and you don't like either nominee for those parties, why not vote for a third party this election? Your vote won't change the electoral college results, but it will affect the popular vote, and who knows, maybe we'll see 3 or even 4 candidates at the debates in 4 years.
Opening up the presidency to more than just two parties will force the current two to rethink their strategies and try to appeal to a broader range of voters.
