In reply to the discussion: ‘None of this looks good': Cenk Uygur rips #BlackLivesMatter protest against Sanders and O’Malley [View all]earthside
(6,960 posts)I believe that this whole dust-up is an attempt by a Trotskyite-type cadre to cause trouble, chaos, disunity, etc. for the express purpose of splitting the Democratic Party if possible.
Sadly, the organizers of NetRoots had no conception that a faction like this is capable of this kind of stunt. And, pathetically, there are too many liberals and progressives that will go into a crisis of angst if anyone raises questions or challenges a very small vanguard cabal clever enough to use a name like 'Black Lives Matter'.
But it works ... imagine a candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination for President of the United States apologizing for saying "All lives matter." Whether he knows it or not, O'Malley has just blown his chances for the nomination -- who would vote for a commander-in-chief that spineless?
Democrats better be wary and aware of destructive political cabals like BLM; they don't really care about black lives and they certainly don't care about the success of the Democratic Party or the liberal/progressive cause in the U.S.
