I actually saw a video of one of the Seattle people where she seemed like a reasonable person who made a lot of sense.
My issues with BLM (yeah, I know, actually define that) at the Seattle event were that a) they acted like they were being suppressed when they were actually being allowed to speak (as far as I could make out), and b) they refused an interview afterwards.
Perhaps there was a reason for refusing the interview (I don't know Seattle politics nor the history of that station and that reporter), but it sure didn't look good on the surface.

It hurts Hillary too. These tactics are ridiculously divisive. It is splitting our coalition.

Yep-keep the two groups from combining forces while shuttling the BLM into the conservative center.

I would tell the lady to choose your enemies wisely. The wrong choice could be quite dangerous.

What happened in Netroots Nation and Seattle happened in person, not on twitter.
