BLM outraged over 'anointing' of Kamala Harris by DNC 'elites and billionaire donors,' demands snap primary
Black Lives Matter, an organization notorious for fomenting racial division and apparently facilitating violent protests, has now called out members of the Democratic Party for "installing" Kamala Harris as their presumptive nominee for president after a series of process changes in 2024 that often circumvented voters and their concerns.On Tuesday, BLM posted lengthy statements to its website and X account hinting that the Democratic Party has recently become a threat to democracy because of the party's seeming attempts to box out voters during the entire nomination process.'We do not live in a dictatorship. Delegates are not oligarchs.'BLM alleged that Democrats first fixed the primary system by refusing to host primary debates, thus concealing from the public "the decline of Joe Biden in 2023." The organization also accused the DNC of rearranging the 2024 primary schedule in such a way as to assure that Biden won the nomination, having "made it almost impossible for non-Biden candidates to appear on the ballot."
