They didn’t. You only can because millions of people died for that right.

Who is “they”? Why assume voting hasn’t worked? Democracies deliver measurably better outcomes than the alternatives. If your ideology keeps losing, that doesn’t mean democracy failed. It means voters rejected your ideas. So what’s the claim here, that every election is rigged?

Also it wasn’t until 1966 that everyone was legally promised the right to vote. They spent nearly 200 years, almost 80% of this country’s history not letting you vote. If voting didn’t matter they would’ve never prevented you from it.

they is the rich people that control society. america is an oligarchy, not a democracy. every election is partially rigged by dark money. we vote for candidates that we had little to no actual power in choosing, in a system that was designed by its creators to prevent the common people from having power.
