In reply to the discussion: ‘None of this looks good': Cenk Uygur rips #BlackLivesMatter protest against Sanders and O’Malley [View all]ananda
(30,035 posts)25. Interesting. You can see the effect here for sure.
Fortunately, it's still very early in the campaign process and once it filters
thought the moiling limbec of politics, I think it will get lost in the vapor,
so to speak.
But Black Lives Matter will not get lost, hopefully. It's an important movement,
and many human lives are at stake.
