From Fox News: The left-wing organization Black Lives Matter is resisting the installation of Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democratic nominee and are calling on the Democratic National Convention “to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates.”

In a statement Tuesday, the group, which rose to prominence in 2020 for organizing nationwide protests in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, said that “a 24-hour process of talking to party bosses is not democratic, nor is it a process Democrats should be proud of.”

“We do not live in a dictatorship. Delegates are not oligarchs. Installing Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee and an unknown vice president without any public voting process would make the modern Democratic Party a party of hypocrites. We call on the @DNC to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates,” the group demanded.

Black Lives Matter has emphasized they aren’t questioning Kamala Harris’s qualifications or capabilities, but say, “This is about the nominating process.”

“Kamala was selected, not elected,” the group argued.

Black Lives Matter released a scathing statement after Joe Biden’s Oval Office address Wednesday night:

President @JoeBiden Today:

🎤 “I am dropping out of the presidential race to defend democracy.”

🎤 “We must unite to protect democracy.”

🎤 “Nothing should stand in the way of saving our democracy.”

🎤 “In a democracy, the people, not kings or dictators, rule.”

@DNC Today in a Smoke-Filled Room:

“We will create an open, fair, inclusive and transparent process to select the next Democratic nominee.” However:

•The American people will not get a chance to vote for the Democratic nominee and their VP.
•DNC party bosses will vote instead of the American people.
•While a virtual primary for the American people isn’t possible, we will make it possible for DNC party bosses to vote virtually.

BUT, none of that even really matters because nearly 2,000 DNC party bosses have already told the Associated Press that they are committed to Kamala Harris and her unknown VP as the Democratic nominee, so Harris already won the open, fair, inclusive and transparent process, which is really just for show.

Since 1972, no Democratic nominee has been installed by delegates (DNC Party bosses) without a primary election. More importantly, we can’t undermine democracy to achieve… democracy!

Standing on principle is often unpopular, but maintaining democratic principles and processes, even in challenging or unexpected situations, is critical.
