(11,366 posts)the BLM interruptions were planned by the Clinton campaign. What she said is that many people on social media believe that it did and that's a fact.
And not all of them are Bernie supporters. Some are just political junkies.
"Hostile" and "out-of-touch?" No.
But I do admit it makes me hostile when I ask a BLM member what their issue is with Sanders and they answer me by saying, "you don't understand." Well, duh. I wouldn't ask if I did, so why won't they tell us?
Your right, it really is hard for me and other Sanders supporters to understand how so many members of this movement don't know Sanders' history on Civil Rights. We don't understand how anyone can think Clinton's record is superior to Sanders on this issue when it's clearly not. They're right. We don't understand, but they won't tell us, either. If the goal is to talk about their issues, then they need to start talking and stop shouting over others at events.
