"this system that forces me to vote for someone I have no faith in,"

Here is the disconnect of which akenaton and so many others (self included) speak. No one is holding a gun to your head to vote for Kerry.

If it is an alternative to the duopoly you seek, a vote for Nader or Cobb or any other indie or third party candidate is a vote FOR someone you would like to see as president.

If what you are complaining about is the duopoly system itself, why would you support it by voting for one of the two, instead of staying home? Why waste your vote on someone you don't really want? A vote for Bush or Kerry is a vote to maintain and support the system you purport to hate. Why would anyone keep doing that?
