Why Is The Democratic Party Silent on Voter Suppression?

[GoLeft TV]

Voter suppression is real, folks, and Republican lawmakers are going to stop at nothing to keep it in play heading into November. And things are going to turn out very badly for Democrats if the GOP is allowed to get away with this. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

1. Mostly

Because it is in their best interest at this time, if it were hurting their queen they would be frothing at the mouth.. Mostly it is happening in red states that the dems wouldn't win anyway so they don't really give a fuck...

2. Because at this time Voter Suppression is giving the party what what want.

That tells you all you need to know. It's like Jamie Dimon whipping votes on the senate floor at Obama's behalf. The last 2 years have been eye opening.

13. This time they benefit

Trump supporters are low income, uneducated and haven't been involved in the political process. So voter I'd do your stuff.

17. I've met some Trump supporters here. They are not low income and uneducated

they are republicans fed up with the republican party. As for being not involved in the political process, they are regular republican voters.

3. There is a part of the party that is saying something. Bernie

supporters and poc. But the media is not covering what any of us say so it is ignored.

[SoapBox]

4. Exactly...

Turd Wayers.

[Lodestar]

5. Same reason they didn't respond to concerns over Electronic Voting

Same reason they didn't try to undo the Patriot Act when they could have.

No representative government...period.

[kadaholo]

6. Because...

Because the Dem Elites are suppressing as much as the Repubs ever did in this Primary.

[FlatBaroque]

7. Let us be accurate...

The establishment of the Democratic party is silent. And the answer to the question is the same answer to the question "why doesn't the Democratic establishment talk about campaign finance reform?". The answer, because they are both simply a means to an end.

8. Let's see....

How does suppressing the student vote help HRC ? It's one answer.

[Jopin Klobe]

9. It's hard to fight ...

... whilst floating on the river that they sold you down ...

10. Establishment democrats don't want a majority.

They want to keep making money.

[Gene Debs]

11. Because Debbie Wasserman Schultz effectively IS the Democratic Party at this point, and

voter suppression benefits Hillary Clinton. It's not hard.

16. Agree!

Voter suppression (closed primaries) & election fraud (how about those mysterious 125,000 dropped voters?) helped carry Clunton to her fraudulent "double digit win" in my state of NY. But for the media, establishment, and many Hillary supporters, a win is a win, end of discussion (or real investigation). The problem for the Democrats is that the Republicans control a lot more state and local governments & simply do voter suppression and fraud much more effectively.

12. The Dem party has become essentially worthless to the 99%.

It is time for something new!

[FairWinds]

14. And why is the democratic party silent on GOP blatant sabotage of . .

the Postal Service, Social Security, the SEC, the EPA and other
regulatory agencies?

All of this should be hammered upon in election ads,
but is not.

Why?

Because they are complicit.

Time for all those real Dems and Bernistas to take
control of the party. I'm helping.

[aggiesal]

15. Because they want to be able to do it themselves. ...

Sick as that sounds, I've come to believe that the Democratic Party does nothing
to stop voter fraud or election fraud because they want the same capability,
when they have the opportunity to use it.

If this is not the case, why have they not push harder to remove or downright
remove non-verifiable voting machines, in states that have Democratic Secretaries of State?
