Well if you're so eager to keep people voting for the establishment choices, you really shouldn't complain when either one of them wins, nor should you complain about the state of the government as both represent the system working exactly as you want it to.

Frankly, we should just simplify things by making everyone's vote automatic based on which ever one of the two parties you register with and restrict any unapproved party or candidate from running for office. There's no point in filling out ballots as this just leads to people voting incorrectly and opens the possibility of things happening outside of the establishment's expectations, which is bad for everyone.

We just need to have faith and hold on to hope that the establishment will change the system that keeps them in power at some indeterminate point in the future, but for now we must do as the establishment commands.
