67. I'm not a Sanders supporter, but BLM is run by a bunch of politically clueless clowns.

If that is all out war, so be it.

I don't appreciate them one bit. And neither should any Democrat. Their stated goal may be noble and desirable, but whoever is calling the shots for the movement is a dolt. They are doing more harm than good, by a large margin.

And I also don't care whether Sanders is reacting harshly to them or not. That's his call. Mine is that BLM is run by clueless, bigmouth asshats.
