If voting didn't matter they wouldnt be working so hard to rat fuck the elections.

Not really true. Since voting in a capitalist dictatorship makes people have faith in their current system, threatening (and trying) to take it away lets people retreat to a position that capitalists also ultimately approve of and control. Its similar to candidate stacking: if both choices are pro-capitalist, then its strategically beneficial.

Would they rather eliminate voting entirely? Not really, because voting as a rigged game has proven its usefulness historically by giving people the illusion of choice, being a useful spectacle / popularity contest, and building faith in the system. Its really useful in preventing the alternative: which is worker's taking power, and its why all working class states aim to overthrow bourgeios democracy.

Bourgeois democracy is a completely rigged game, and has proven the safest and most reliable shell for capitalist rule, regardless of voting methods or form, whether its in the US, UK, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Australia, etc.

Giving a toddler a couple approved choices works better than dictating everything. It’s a shame the same technique works so well with a good portion of the adult population.

Because the only thing both Democrats and Republicans care about is the color of the trolley.

Yes true but the red trolley someone will hang out the window and shoot you. The blue trolley will just keep trucking.

A trolley is close enough to a train lmao.

People have already forgotten Biden was the same fiddle for Beni's genocide that Trump is and that Kamala cheer3d we'd have the most deadly military in the world.

Brain dead.

As someone outside the US empire: how about you go fuck yourself instead.
