I can agree to that... I remember how angry I got when my first roommate in college actually called his father to ask who to vote for as he filled out his absent T. Mind you, I gave him a few non partisan websites to go to in order to become informed....
But that's the system - experience candidates and informed voters unnecessary. But all that said, actually voting is a big step.

the concern is that the alternate party candidate would take votes

That's what I was getting at -- the opportunities that the big two have come once a certain percentage of voters support an external party. I, for one, am not a big fan of two dominating parties - 3 larger parties would be much better in my opinion. But, I think the problem stems down from the attitude of "both sides of the story." Starting in grade school we've taught two sides of a story - when, in reality we can find many different "sides" of the same story. A two sided diamond isn't exactly spectacular :/
