In reply to the discussion: So exactly WHICH candidate for POTUS IS BLM supporting, over Bernie Sanders???? [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)48. And, how is it good message strategy for "BLM" Movement to target only Bernie Sanders...
Martin O'Malley was targeted along with Bernie at NetRoots Nation but, O'Malley has given speeches at many gatherings and I've not seen reports of his speeches being disrupted by BLM.
So, sadly, it appears that Bernie is the only target for "BLM"to use disruption techniques against amongst the Dem Candidates. There are Seventeen or so Republicans running and it seems very odd that not one of them has been targeted when two of them could end up in the WH as President/VP. Why was "BLM" not protesting at "Red State Nation" this weekend? Why are they not protesting at the many Repub events where the TeaPartiers and RW Congregate?
Who is the bigger danger to "BLM" and their Movement--the Democrats or the Republicans? I have a hard time believing the "BLM" Movement is what it says it is if Bernie Sanders is their only target.
