Our votes are limited by who we can vote for. That's where the rich come in. The two party system is a great example of how to stop the masses from messing their plans too much. They can pick two candidates that are corporate friendly, finance their campaigns, so it doesn't matter which one wins, they win. Even without the two party system, the financing of politics is what determines this and it's absolutely corrupt. It's publicly known that corporations blatantly contribute to both sides to ensure that whatever happens they have control over it. The US had a great example just now: Bernie. He's not even as extreme as he should be IMO but even if people WANTED to vote for him, they couldn't. They had to choose between two corporate candidates. In this case without even a vote (I think the fake "pre-election" the USA does is ridiculously fake, but that's another issue). If we then add the fact that they own the media and the vast majority of the population can't think for themselves, we have what I described: the rich controls who wins. No matter the party (americans are obsessed with left/right simplifications), the one constant is that the lives of the rich will get better at the cost of the lives of the poor. Maybe one day folks will understand that. Maybe not.
