No matter how Bernie adjusts his message, it won't be enough. Not ever.

191. This is why the leaders of both Bernie's campaign as well as BLM movement need to realize this...

... and meet together to lead the campaign towards working together. If the most vocal (and those who are leading) in both campaigns tend towards divisiveness, we lose. This is why leaders like MLK were critical in his day and are today as well, and why we celebrate him so much today and deservedly so. They recognize that effective leadership of these movements means to make sure that those following them aren't feeling the need to push away others that can work together for their goals.

Bernie has never spoken against the BLM movement and has always throughout his career been a fierce advocate for civil rights. Though he emphasizes economic issues, because too many in both parties avoid doing so, and they need to be talked about, we all need to remember that he's doing it to lead us on those issues in a way that no one else has, and that leaders of the BLM movement need to HELP augment what he says (and what he can humanly do without more than one mouth to speak, etc.) to ensure that these messages work together, and each works to emphasize how both sets of issues need to be worked on together, and just because one side mentions the other's emphasized issues less than the other, doesn't mean that either movement feels they are less important.

If the average voter sees these messages working together and the leaders shaping them working together, they'll come to feel that all of these issues need to be worked on and solved for us to make the necessary changes, and those that just advocate one and dismiss the other set of issues aren't being constructive for change in this country.
