(9,688 posts)This is the end result of approx. 2 months of VERY well funded swift-boating action. We've seen it played out on DU.
We'll burn ourselves out if we get sucked into these kind of operations and don't learn, but instead continue to feed them with attempts at reason, because no amount of REASON can stop them.
I hear in other OPs on DU that Hillary Clinton will be meeting personally with #blacklivesmatter founders and official spokespeople, in an "in camera" session (which counterintuitively means "private and away from the press" -- probably with signed non-disclosure terms) that's been well publicized beforehand for maximum effect, so no misunderstandings can occur, no brazen attempt to throw Hillary off the stage while calling Hillary's audience "white supremacists", then blaming Hillary for the entire scene, will happen. This has been a professional swift-boating action, 2015 style, and I'm wondering if this is the victory lap of the whole operation and they might be going on to the next phase.
But how could I know about how this post citizen's united total $ domination politics will play out? I'm in the unfortunate position of being one of those "white progressives" being systematically fucked over by it.
