    The first two are adequately explained by parties wanting to win elections. The question of who wins the election isn’t relevant to drag’s point, drag’s point is the power held by the winning party. Not increased by high voter turnout.

    The third point is backwards. You said parties want less people to vote, because more votes make them more powerful. That’s silly.

    The fourth point is adequately explained by the Black Panthers doing direct action. Drag doesn’t think the CIA cared how the Panthers voted.

    The fifth point is irrelevant, because voting doesn’t give the CIA power, just as drag says. You can’t argue that voting gives government power because it gives government power. That’s silly.

    Drag wants you to take this discussion seriously, please. Drag is really putting an effort in and drag would like it if you did as well.
