It it not a choice when you ask for a lollipop, but get handed a bogroll on the basis that most people want bogroll. Voting is simply the slave’s suggestion box and today a vast number of those suggestions will be systematically ignored.

Instead of having a dictator, Egyptians may now have the “right” to choose their dictator every few years in elections.  Voting, the slave’s suggestion box

Voting
What is the point of voting? Voting is just the slaves’ suggestion box. Choosing new masters every few years doesn’t make you free.

The Voting Booth – A Suggestion Box for Slaves
ts November 2, 2014
“If you don’t vote, you can’t complain” is one of the most ridiculous, illogical statements I’ve ever heard. The only people who rightfully can complain are those who choose not to be a part of the political process.
 
Many people who have decided not to vote have awakened to the realization that the people they “elect” will be expected to initiate force against their friends, family and neighbors–a criminal activity–and those non-voters have chosen not to be an accessory to crime.

To control the plantation, give the slaves the illusion of choice, then make them work even harder, and punish them for going against “freedom” when they speak out.
