A.) That Democratic initiatives are meant to win them elections. OK, let's see: by encouraging people to sign up to vote? Motor-voter? Even sending out absentee ballot applications to registered voters during the pandemic? Is this sinister, or does it just encourage enfranchisement?
It's sinister. It's all a power grab. The virtue-signaling rhetoric about the "right to vote" is simply a front.
Is this a bad thing, encouraging people to vote?
In some cases, yes. Not everyone is naturally politically inclined. What the Democratic Party has done for decades is exactly what Joe Biden referred to last week: make black voting for the Democratic Party a matter of racial tribalism and racial unity.
Within the black community, there is hardly any debate over policies. The act of voting is overwhelmingly a form of anti-white catharsis every election cycle. That is why the black vote is so lopsided. It is simply a government-engineered race-hate vote to give the Democratic Party more power and more control.
No one is requiring that they vote Democrat.
Not officially. But they use civil rights agitators and government officials to tell black people that it is their black duty to vote Democrat or else they are sell-outs to their race. The black vote for the Democratic Party is essentially and almost entirely about racial tribalism.
It's the Republicans who fear a wider enfranchisement and seek to suppress the vote.
Absolute bullshit. Republicans have supported every extension of the Voting Rights Act, despite the fact that it costs them elections continuously. All they are asking for now is that voting have the same standards for identification as opening a bank account. That is not an unreasonable standard at all.
B) "When you look at what the Voting Rights Act amounted to, it was basically just a power grab by white leftists in their civil war with white rightists." Wow, that's a stretch. And you just made the enfranchisement of black people, after decades of disenfranchisement, about white people all over again.
Because white leftists like yourself have made black voting all about yourselves and not about black well-being. White leftists use black votes to advance what they really care about - the LGBT agenda. White leftists don't care about the actual well-being of minorities. They care about looking fashionable and feeling comfortable within themselves. LGBT is far more important to white leftists than black people living in safe neighborhoods or getting better jobs.
C.) "And the black vote is to a large extent an artificial creation of the federal government and civil rights agitators who motivate people to vote who otherwise wouldn't and make them believe that it is their civic duty to vote for the Democratic Party." This is so paternalistic that I don't even know what to say.
Paternalistic? Like Joe Biden telling blacks they aren't black if they don't vote Democrat?
I found the uproar over Biden's comments quite comical because all he did was say exactly what white Democrats have thought for years and what the vast majority of blacks have believed for years.
How is anyone's vote an "artificial creation?"
Obviously you don't know that Eisenhower got 37% of the black vote before the Civil Rights Act and the civil rights machine went into full force to make the black vote a mass scale race-unity expression. You also obviously don't know about how the Voting Rights Act was implemented and what kind of Democratic Party shenanigans go on in black areas. The black vote is not the result of people thinking about policies and voting accordingly. It is a racial tribalist vote ginned up by the federal government and the Democratic Party to go out and vote on the basis of racial identity and racial resentment. That is why it goes 92% Democrat in every election.
How could the enfranchisement of people ever be a bad thing, when their vote was so long suppressed?
Well you obviously would prefer if right-wing demographics did not have the right to vote, but putting that aside, I don't think it is a good idea for everyone and anyone to vote just to vote. I think people should vote if they are politically interested and engaged enough to be informed about issues. I definitely don't think they should be encouraged to vote simply on the basis of racial antagonism and tribal instincts, which is exactly what the Voting Rights Act encouraged with blacks. Prior to the Voting Rights Act, there was fairly extensive black voting, but it was more balanced and far less politicized. As I just mentioned, 37% of blacks voted for Eisenhower. What the Voting Rights Act did was create a massive anti-white race-hate vote through government agitation to give white leftists more power to advance the agendas that they really cared about - particularly LGBT.
You could do without whining about voter suppression in these states and ask yourself why the Republicans haven't put forth candidates that appeal to them.
There are many reasons for that but the main one is that the forces of education, media, and Democratic Party operatives and civil rights activists have convinced black people that they are selling out their race if they ever stray from the Democratic Party. Republicans have tried in dozens of ways to "reach out" but black voters have spurned them at every turn. It does not matter that Republicans overwhelmingly and by a higher percentage than Democrats voted for both the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Blacks have been convinced that they aren't black if they don't vote Democrat.
Also, another factor is that despite their pro-capitalist rhetoric in music, blacks generally support big-government programs in the realms of politics. They don't find much appeal in free-market economics as an abstract political theory. But, that said, the main reason they vote Democrat is that they have been trained to believe that voting Democrat is a matter of racial unity and survival. They vote almost entirely on the basis of anti-white racial resentment that has been drummed in their heads by the civil rights industry, the media, and the educational system.
That`s why it comes down to a few battleground states and the electoral college (and the Russians, perhaps,)
You mean the Ukrainians. They were the ones who interfered in 2016 (trying to help the Democrats), not the Russians.

It's not like we've never voted in Republican governors, and perhaps you even meant California, which also has had them. Even Republican mayors in NYC. You could do without whining about voter suppression in these states and ask yourself why the Republicans haven't put forth candidates that appeal to them. That`s why it comes down to a few battleground states and the electoral college (and the Russians, perhaps,) because the Republicans refuse to come up with a platform that play to the majority interests in the US.
