121. Why is it not okay????

She can think whatever she wants. How does it hurt me half a country away from her?

I'm certainly not going to stop my support of any organization that calls for the end of police brutality over it. Not to mention hostile reactions will only prove her right. If BLM is telling progressives that racial justice isn't their priority then shouldn't we listen? Republicans sure in hell aren't going to. I doubt even most people who call themselves Democrats probably wouldn't listen.

I'm proud to be a progressive. Even the word itself is lovely. We are open minded and willing to make change in the world. We need to listen to what BLM is saying (and afaic they are supporting her) because honestly, who else do you think is going to?
