  2. This makes absolutely no sense, the article is even worse.

  3. It looks like the talking points were lifted from FoxNews.

    Sus

  4. From BLM’s site…

    ***Black Lives Matter calls on the DNC to host a virtual snap primary.***

    **Washington D.C.** – Black Lives Matter demands that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) immediately host an informal, virtual snap primary across the country prior to the DNC convention in August. We call for the Rules Committee to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates. The current political landscape is unprecedented, with President Biden stepping aside in a manner never seen before. This moment calls for decisive action to protect the integrity of our democracy and the voices of Black voters.

  5. Specifically, it’s the group The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation that’s saying this, not Black Lives Matter as a whole.

  7. Idk why everyone is shitting on them. I think it’s a reasonable position. Many of us would have preferred a snap primary to simply picking Kamala.

    It’s not a crazy thing to call for, Kamala was never incredibly popular.

    I think a lot of people were just afraid to really speak up and break the period of unity that the Democrats are going through right now.

    Either way…I’ll vote Kamala…I just can’t help but feel like there were stronger choices out there.
