Well, color us shocked that Black Lives Matter (BLM) would prove to be better defenders of democracy than the Democratic Party, who they called out in a post, objecting to the nomination of Kamala Harris as the party's candidate:
Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) ~ Timeline of Events:
Sunday
•Joe Biden drops out.
•Kamala Harris announces campaign with Biden endorsement.
•Kamala Harris says she is going to work hard to earn the nomination.
•Kamala Harris makes calls to party delegates.
Monday
•Kamala Harris continues making calls to party delegates.
•Kamala Harris makes two public speeches.
•AP announces Kamala Harris has secured enough delegates to be the Democratic Nominee (Monday night).
•Kamala Harris releases this statement, noting she has worked hard to “go out and earn this nomination” as promised (Monday night).
A 24-hour process of talking to party bosses is not democratic, nor is it a process Democrats should be proud of. We do not live in a dictatorship. Delegates are not oligarchs.
Installing Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee and an unknown vice president without any public voting process would make the modern Democratic Party a party of hypocrites.
We call on the @DNC to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates.
BLM has been tougher on the Democratic Party than the media.
What a time to be alive.
If they expect better from the DNC, they're going to be disappointed.
Coco (@CoClarified) ~ {Replying to @Blklivesmatter} They’ve been hypocrites for a long time. Welcome to the party.
Yes, welcome to the party. Take a seat and make yourselves comfortable.
Enguerrand VII de Coucy (@ingelramdecoucy) ~ {Replying to @Blklivesmatter} I stand with Black Lives Matter, Kamala Harris was Selected not Elected!
Heh.
Cowboy Actual (@ForestandFlame) ~ {Replying to @Blklivesmatter} The clown award goes to you, congrats. She’s the nominee.
Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) ~ {Replying to @ForestandFlame} We are happy to be the clowns calling for democracy.
Which is more than the actual Democratic Party is willing to do.
Heck, Chuck Schumer lied about the process being 'grassroots' today. How is it BLM are the only ones on the Left to: 1) see this, and 2) call it out?
Beard and Circus (@Shooter_ptpx01) ~ Ya lost BLM ... ooph.
Oh, we suffer no delusion -- they'll still pull the lever for her, but the criticism is refreshing.
Black Lives Matter (Yeah, We're Shocked, Too) Shames the DNC as HYPOCRITES Over Harris Nomination
