    Is there a method where BLM could publicly raise concerns about the Democrats’ process that you wouldn’t characterize as ‘the left fighting the left’?

      To be somewhat contrarian, what advantage is there in BLM raising these concerns and making this demand? What does it do, in this election cycle, to advance their agenda?

      Wait until the fascists don’t win the election? Right now that makes the most difference, and then later we can hold Harris and the Democrats to be better.

        How would we hold them to be better, once they are in office? I have the feeling you would probably not support impeaching them over not being far enough to the Left, so I am interested in what routes you think are available?

        To be clear, I don’t want a snap primary, I am just interested in if you actually have an answer to this, because otherwise it would have been more honest to just say, “shut up I don’t care” than pretend that pre-election is not the time to affect the party platform (which it has always been).
