You are essentially arguing against the validity of voting in the first place. I see your point and really appreciate the images.
Are you completely comfortable brushing aside the concept that a government rules by the consent of the governed, because the voting process is rigged to achieve a certain end result?
Where does the government get its power from? Itself? Would that make any sense?
Only humans can grant power or extract it to/from another. I can grant myself the title of King right now, but my title only has power if other grant it to me.
