NO WONDER EVEN BLACK LIVES MATTER WANTS TO PULL THEIR SUPPORT FROM THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN!
WASHINGTON (TND) — Civil rights activist group Black Lives Matter (BLM) on Tuesday called for Democrats to host a virtual primary to determine who should receive the party’s nomination ahead of the Democratic National Convention.

Harris earned enough delegates Monday to win the Democratic nomination, according to the Associated Press. The publication stopped short of calling her the presumptive nominee, citing the potential for changes leading up to the convention.

The BLM press release noted, however, Democrats have alienated their voter base by not holding a primary to officially nominate Harris.

“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. We call for the Rules Committee to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates.”

While the group noted “Joe Biden wasn’t our preferred candidate,” it pointed to the party’s “troubling” decisions to avoid giving its voters a voice, such as refusing to host debates, pushing out non-Biden candidates and having “bullied” Biden out of the race.

“Now, Democratic Party elites and billionaire donors are attempting to manipulate Black voters by anointing Kamala Harris and an unknown vice president as the new Democratic ticket without a primary vote by the public,” BLM wrote. “This blatant disregard for democratic principles is unacceptable.”

Harris has already picked up the endorsements of many Democratic leaders, including Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The news comes as President Joe Biden announced he will address the nation about his decision not to seek reelection.
