Choice E: I'm voting for "other" because it's not a two-party system, and __________ better represents my political views.

My main objections to Choices C and D are:

1) It's not a system that only allows two choices, therefore you aren't limited to the lesser of two evils.
2) Whether you think ________ will win the election is not why you should vote for them.
3) "free everything / world peace" are ridiculous goals for the leader of a single country.

It's a system that allows multiple choices, but only two who could possibly win. Voting for any of the others would never create the slightest chance of any of those others winning, but it does take a vote away from whichever of the two who could win, that you would however slightly prefer to the other. So there are multiple choices. However all but one of the choices collapse to the equivalent of a vote for that of the two plausible winners whom you hate more.
