BLM is not happy with the “anointing” of Kamala Harris…
In a statement issued this week, Black Lives Matter admitted it was happy to see President Joe Biden step aside in the 2024 presidential but added “We cannot ignore the troubling actions of the Democratic Party.”
In its statement, BLM blasted “Democratic party elites and billionaire donors” for “bullying” Joe Biden out of the race.
From BLM’s statement:
Black Lives Matter demands that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) immediately host an informal, virtual snap primary across the country prior to the DNC convention in August.
While Joe Biden wasn’t our preferred candidate, we cannot ignore the troubling actions of the Democratic Party:
- The DNC refused to host debates during the primary, even though a vast majority of Democratic voters wanted them. This would have likely allowed America to see the decline of Joe Biden in 2023.
- The DNC changed the primary schedule and created rules that made it almost impossible for non-Biden candidates to appear on the ballot, effectively clearing the field of any challengers to the incumbent president.
- Following the primary where millions of Black voters weighed in, after one poor debate performance, the DNC Party elites and billionaire donors bullied Joe Biden out of the race.
“We do not live in a dictatorship,” the group wrote. “Delegates are not oligarchs. Any attempt to evade or override the will of voters in our primary system must be condemned. We demand an informal, virtual snap primary now that the incumbent president is no longer in the running.”
