Aren't we supposed to be the Hope and Change Party?

Not that it really matters to anyone but me, but I'm really disappointed in a lot of responses to this BLM "Screw Up in Seattle".

There's the "Don't Attack Bernie!!!" line...maybe they just went to where the big crowds were.

Truly crushing, the "I'm done with BLM!" response. Really? Two kids screw up one political rally more than a year before the election and we're supposed to forget about the thousands of people in a movement who wants to bring awareness about police killing and beating POC indiscriminately?

Punish! Punish! Punish! A little ostracism on the side, some reserved for DU members who may have a different perspective.

To be fair, there's a lot of good thoughts out there too, but the negativity is palpable.

If we lose each other on the way to 2016, the rich guys win folks.

Lol, I'll take my beating now.

It was extremely rude of them to interrupt a large meeting of citizens like that.
The key here is Respect for all people and their lives.
The interrupters were wrong to pick that moment to try and make their point.
