Allowing the hoi polloi a token choice between Republicans & Democrats every 4 years is enough to convince majority of people that they have an actual stake in the system.
Meanwhile, freedom of speech to vent at their leaders keeps people are pacified without actually leading to any meaningful change.
Speech that cannot be translated into action is completely meaningless in practice.
