And note I said "some of." Their numbers might not be large, but their influence is destroying the Sanders campaign.

Frankly, when the response they have to #blm is "Yes BUT" or "Let me EDUCATE you about how great Bernie is..." you've lost me. A lot of Bernie's supporters want black votes, but they don't want to focus on black issues.

It just doesn't work like that anymore. Bernie gets it, but a shit load of his supporters do not.

Pro tip: BLM is NOT making "demands." They are advising America that we are in a state of emergency. If someone told you "That tornado just tore up two towns in Alabama!!" would you call that a "demand?" If someone said "The hurricane flooded New Orleans and hundreds are dead!" would you call THAT a "demand?"

Good grief.
