I get it. You have better ideas for them. Good on you. I have no clue how you don't see how effective they have been. Two days after they first disrupted Sanders he started making serious changes to his stump speeches. Hillary has a BLM outreach group and speaks to their concerns regularly, O'Malley has put out the most detailed and progressive plan in this area than any of the candidates. But you are going to question their tactics? Ok. Keep at it. While they are playing a role in changing the conversation for the better, you are questioning their tactics.

That is true dismissal on your part that must ignore reality in order for it to hold merit. Why aren't they doing this? Why don't you do it for them if it's so brilliant and they are so ineffective.
