You've touched on one of the many reasons "voting" is futile.
Just don't do it; it encourages these tyrants. When enough people stop, they will have no choice but to reveal that "democracy" is an utter fraud. Government "of the senseless, by the senseless, and for the senseless" is a delusion.
TPTSB (The Powers That Shouldn't Be) have an agenda, and it isn't good. They are directed from behind the scenes by satan and his minions, and no amount of "voting" is going to fix that.
"Voting" and "election" are words with the root meaning of making a choice. The choices we make that DO have great effect are our purchases and our choices to build freedom tools outside of the satanic system. This is what I see happening with bitcoin and nostr, and the more that happens, the less the political fraud system will matter.
