(17,064 posts)...for some reason, then the only alternative is republicans. Good luck with them.
But back to Democrats. Apparently the Media Director of NRN knew in advance of the protest, and bragged in advance on Twitter that "white progressives are going to get what they deserve"...that's not a direct quote, but a paraphrase.

Now, "white progressives" are not responsible for a single black shooting, and are the most likely to sympathize with BLMs cause. Explain why they deserve anything? Between the 20 something candidates in the two parties, Sanders and O'Malley are the most progressive, the most willing to listen and understand, and the most willing to help. Why disrupt their events? I don't see the logic in BLMs tactics. Maybe they've just jumped the shark, and marginalized themselves into ridiculousness. That would be too bad.
