#BLM says their vote has to be earned. So, tell us

[rateyes]

What a candidate has to do to earn your vote, #BLM.

I am listening. I am not going to respond to any posts in this thread. I simply want to hear what you have to say about this. I am truly interested.

[still_one]

1. Perhaps you should go to the BLM site and ask your question

[Sunlei]

2. Here's a link to BLM

http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en.html

[BeyondGeography]

4. That's the Bureau of Land Management

[still_one]

6. Lol, sorry it hit me as quite amusing

[BeyondGeography]

7. I hear they can really tear down a forum, too

Don't get them started.

[still_one]

8. Stop stop stop, I can't take it

[London Lover Man]

20. #BLM matters to Cliven Bundy, right?

[still_one]

24. mmmmmm, Nope

[jwirr]

34. Well you could go to the BIA and ask what they want.

[rateyes]

9. Done.

I am waiting on their response. In the meantime I am hoping that perhaps someone here might be able to respond to my question.

[KittyWampus]

3. maybe you need to contact BLM and ask them to come here to answer your question….

or maybe you need to go to their forums and ask.

Why the f*ck are you posting this here in GDP on DemocraticUnderground.com?

[rateyes]

10. It seems to be the topic of the day in this forum.

[Travis_0004]

15. Does DU not have any black people?

with so many many members, is nobody a member of blacklivesmatter? Maybe the OP doesn't use twitter, and would rather ask on this site?

[MoonRiver]

19. We do have black people here, but Bernie people tend to dismiss them.

Don't know why,but that's what I've observed.

[progressoid]

29. If you're going to drop bull shit like that,

[MoonRiver]

32. How cute.

[whatchamacallit]

22. Really?

Could it be the raging internecine battles on DU? Some DUers are making BLM the ralling cry of the campaign, yet if you ask them what needs to be done they throw up their arms and say "I dunno, go ask BLM".

[RiverLover]

25. +1

That's exactly what we're getting.

[KittyWampus]

30. What you're getting is the response to a bunch white people telling black people

how to protest.

[whatchamacallit]

31. Bullshit

How can Sanders "pass the test" if the rules aren't provided? People who truly want change, need to make the change they want clear. Some of us really want to help our candidate get it right. This "when he gets it we'll let him know" mind reader crap, aimed at one candidate, feels like a political ploy.

[NCTraveler]

5. Should have gone to the event and listened.

Maybe there will be another one near you.

[RiverLover]

11. They didn't say. That's just one way their ambush was an epic fail. /nt

[NCTraveler]

14. Seems to be the talk of the town.

Seems to have also made a lot of people really uncomfortable. Welcome to the neighborhood.

[RiverLover]

16. Its just frustrating because they DIDN'T SAY what they want done to fix the problems.

They just made our candidates look bad.

Guilt by association. To the UNINFORMED reading all the crap headlines.

See for yourself what the general public is reading....& please note there are NO POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS offered by the disrupters. ~

Clinton backers are loving this, because it wasn't their candidate made to look so bad.

(And It seems to me that if they really wanted to change things & believe the president has that power, they'd be protesting the Bi-racial president we elected, twice, in office at this very moment...)

[Bobbie Jo]

26. Wrong

The reaction was an epic fail.

You'll see...

[rateyes]

12. If that's the only way to get the answers to my

questions, I guess that is what I will do.

[NCTraveler]

13. You mean listening to the people you want answers from...

is the only way for you to get answers to your question about said group? lol. This place has jumped the shark.

[rateyes]

17. Maybe I am missing something here. I have

Contacted BLM and asked. I thought that perhaps there are members of that group here who could answer the questions too. Not just for me, but for all who are considering their votes.

I am listening. But, so far no one has been talking. If you know the answers to my question, I would love to hear it.

[RiverLover]

18. Interesting how often I've read ppl here say our candidates "need to earn" #BLM vote,

and I'm not seeing any answers as to HOW.

I'm grateful you asked this Q re, and really disappointed no one has answered yet. Maybe someone will.

Its the bottom line.

If they really want their "protests" to be meaningful & bring change, its rather important.

[rateyes]

21. It is frustrating me that I cannot get one

Answer to that question. I really want to know the answer. I want to know what our candidates have not done to address their concerns, and what they need to do from here on out. I have searched their site, made inquiry at their site, and made inquiry here.

All I get is deflection.

[99Forever]

23. For folks that are demanding to be heard...

.... I'm baffled as to why they won't please say what they want.

[HooptieWagon]

28. .

"We're angry"
"Yes, I understand. We're angry too. How can we work together to fix this problem?"
<crickets>

[WorseBeforeBetter]

36. I asked -- repeatedly -- what #BLM wants.

What EXACTLY should be in "the plan" put forth by Democratic presidential candidates. Specifics.

Crickets.

[randys1]

27. sigh

[Zorra]

33. More money than the banksters are giving them to swiftboat Bernie. nt
