(7,830 posts)I didn't post this for "my candidate". I'm for Bernie, or O'Malley, since my candidate of choice has chosen to sit it out...
I posted it because no matter how hard the Hillary group here has pushed that this was about #BLM, when it was #BLM "protesting" a CIVIL RIGHTS SUPPORTER from his college days, it finally made sense with this insider's article. I really can't tell you how upsetting it was to have #BLM attack our candidates. The only ones happy about it are Hillary & the RW.
I'm really not trying to change anyone's mind. I know for many here, that isn't the case. But in my case, I think I know how this will all play out, no matter what we post on DU. And when it does, I'll be going to the Green Party. Like the author of this OP did after years within the Democratic Party. This article has had a profound affect on me in many ways.
I'm finally seeing things as they are. Not only within the Democratic Party, but also at DU.
