But Bernie has not ignored the issues and he has been the first to speak out on many of them. He jwirr Jul 2015 #27
We don't. stranger81 Jul 2015 #91
No. Because Black lives do matter and something needs to be done. mmonk Jul 2015 #10
This would be funny if I didn't feel the sentiment was actually real. It can't be real. NCTraveler Jul 2015 #11
I protest plenty. Doing it is fine. Can I have a different opinion? It's not like saying mmonk Jul 2015 #14
You have asked one question and the answer is amazingly simple. NCTraveler Jul 2015 #16
My apologies. mmonk Jul 2015 #32

Black protestors want to grab attention from Bernie's media bubble KittyWampus Jul 2015 #15
will this have any impact on results of election? 6chars Jul 2015 #39
In The Progressive Movement RobinA Jul 2015 #99
I'm just wondering why they are not speaking to those in power NOW. cwydro Jul 2015 #17
Because there is media following the primary candidates around KittyWampus Jul 2015 #20
Oh, I see. cwydro Jul 2015 #21
Yes, it's not like Obama's every single movement is reported widely.... (nt) jeff47 Jul 2015 #23
how easy is it for multiple BLM protestors to get into Netroots KittyWampus Jul 2015 #25
Depends on the venue. Some are easy, some are impossible. jeff47 Jul 2015 #28
Why not focus it on the Republicans venue though? cstanleytech Jul 2015 #41

It's not about discomfort. It's about learning about your target before you attack. jeff47 Jul 2015 #18
"The point of activists like BLM is ... to get their issues into the political discussion." geek tragedy Jul 2015 #24
Not when those candidates were already discussing it. (nt) jeff47 Jul 2015 #29
discussing it to whose liking? nt geek tragedy Jul 2015 #42
Well, considering BLM claims they don't discuss it at all jeff47 Jul 2015 #44
So, safe to say the BLM advocates do not feel that the candidates have done/said enough geek tragedy Jul 2015 #49
No, because we also have really shitty media. jeff47 Jul 2015 #51
the media is a problem every candidate has to work around. geek tragedy Jul 2015 #56
I'd say BLM did get their issue into the political discussion. KittyWampus Jul 2015 #26
Except these candidates were already discussing it. jeff47 Jul 2015 #30
You have put out a complex and contradictory set of rules.... NCTraveler Jul 2015 #96
No, they haven't achieved their goal. jeff47 Jul 2015 #107

If I were a republican operative, I would funnel money to BLM HFRN Jul 2015 #34
And they would gladly take the money. I hope it is given. NCTraveler Jul 2015 #48
Utter idiocy to attack someone who agrees with you LittleBlue Jul 2015 #35
it's almost like a 'false flag' on one's self HFRN Jul 2015 #36
Agreed LittleBlue Jul 2015 #38
They weren't "supporters" in the first place heaven05 Jul 2015 #72

I still hope both politicians will treat this as a moment of epiphany Betty Karlson Jul 2015 #43
1. because there's a sudden and massive "Sanders isn't listening to Black people" meme & 2. because MisterP Jul 2015 #46
Why isn't this in the primary group? Some people use it others ignore it. Why? whereisjustice Jul 2015 #50
