“Democratic Party elites and billionaire donors are attempting to manipulate Black voters by anointing Kamala Harris…and an unknown vice president as the new Democratic ticket without a primary vote by the public…. While the potential outcome of a Harris presidency may be historic, the process to achieve it must align with true democratic values. We have no idea where Kamala Harris stands on the issues.”
—–Black Lives Matter in a statement released last week.
I did not see that coming. What a wonderful example of how one must always try to judge the message rather than the messenger. The BLM position is true beyond dispute, and in some respects BLM is the ideal messenger to deliver it, were it not for the little matter of the organization being corrupt, racist, dishonest and untrustworthy. Let’s check: does the BLM website still say that Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown were murdered because of their race? Why yes, it does!
But the group is right about Harris, her deliberate vagueness about her policy positions (aided and abetted by the Axis media), and the undemocratic way she has suddenly been elevated into the #1 spot on the Democratic Presidential ticket with no democratic processes involved at all.
There is no chance that BLM’s proper objections will have any impact, though, since the group’s members and supporters are not going to go MAGA no matter what Harris espouses or how ironically Soviet her ascension is.
It’s points are valid and welcome nonetheless.
Ethics Alarms 
Get out your checkbook and tell us where you want her to stand this week. That seems to be the way things work with her.
When you look at the 2020 primaries, Kamala Harris trailed every other candidate in support from black voters. I think Bernie Sanders had 20x the black support as Kamala Harris. This ‘black candidate’ never showed any widespread support in the black community and her support in the black community was probably higher than any other group. The only group that seems to support Kamala Harris is the media class and the Democratic Party elites.
I wonder if those folks tally to 75 million votes.
Well, they do seem to be the ones allowed to count the votes…so it is possible. Remember, in the 2022 election, Democratic Party officials were given complete control over some local elections (elected county officials were removed and control of the ballots and counting given to Democratic Party officials instead). That was the Zuckbucks scandal.
“It depends on the meaning of ‘votes.'”
All it means is that they haven’t received any cash from the campaign. Kamala told everyone where she stands on the issue that BLM cares most about. “The riots won’t stop, nor should they stop.” is what she told the late-night pseudo comedy show. I guess they forgot to keep on rioting. I think her favorite bail organization is still in business, the one that bailed out a criminal would later commit murder.
Cynical but almost certainly true.
Harris has also been on the exact opposite side of those issues. She hid false evidence being produced against defendants. She kept people in jail after their release dates. Maybe they are afraid that she will flip-flop again now that the BLM demands have resulted in disaster? She seems to take whatever position will get her elected, but no one knows exactly what she will do.
What exactly are they up to?
And who would “they” be? Is BLM even in existence? Aren’t all the leaders hunkered down in their luxury real estate? I didn’t even know there was still a viable organization.
BLM acolytes probably don’t watch FOX News, and I know that he isn’t your favorite commentator, but Sean Hannity has been featuring segments, “In Her Own Words” that lay out very clearly on video where the VP stands on several issues. If you are a radical leftist Marxist she’s the candidate for you.
