Oh, you're right. My mistake. I guess I'll just stop voting or even protesting then :/
You get told you're wrong and immediately throw your toys out the pram
More so pointing out how silly it is. If the US wasn't a democracy, then why vote? If they're referring to the electrol college or lobbying, then yeah, I don't support those and think it's anti-democratic. We'd be in agreement.
Even strict dictatorships have elections to gauge how much support they have. They're limited in how far they can go before spawning a revolution. Just because votes aren't capable of inacting actual change against the ruling class's interests doesn't mean it isn't useful. By voting for a third party you're showing solidarity with the movement and demonstrating how the current system is a sham. By voting for the system you only legitimise it and give the rulers the excuse to say they're acting legally and with the will of the people.
