Subject: Re: BLM wants a virtual primary
Maybe you can refresh my memory - is BLM known more for careful deliberation around issues or are they known for “fiery but kinda peaceful”.

Hence the popcorn, my friend :).

I mean....are you imagining that there will be widespread protests in the streets of most major cities against Harris getting the nomination? That just seems ridiculously unlikely.

Black Lives Matter has historically been able to put together large-scale protests in the immediate aftermath of heavily publicized deaths resulting from police actions (most notably Eric Garner and George Floyd), but outside of those specific circumstances? Not so much. And even in those cases, their ability to bring people to the streets has been muted of late; for example, the protests surrounding Sonya Massey's death have been fairly modest.

"Cop-ala" Harris won't be their preferred Democratic candidate, but you're not going to see much more than perhaps some complaining on social media. And the Harris campaign would love to be attacked by BLM for being just too darn tough on criminals. 2024 isn't 2020, and she's not trying to peel voters from Sanders and Warren - she's going to be running on her law enforcement background, not away from it.
