Black Lives Matter’s criticisms of Kamala’s selection apply to more than the present moment. It’s a principled argument against the anti-democratic nature of the Democratic Party. This didn’t start with Kamala’s ascension or when Joe Biden was handed the nomination without significant opposition, but has been a feature of the Democrats’ playbook for a long time.
A party that positions itself as the defender of Democracy undermines and weakens its authority when it’s own party structures cynically undermine and sideline popular participation.
Then my only advice would be to try and share in ways that are constructive rather than the opposite.
I disagree with that characterization.
Then help me understand - how do you feel that sharing this without the correct context was constructive?
