Not my words.  I have posted here regarding the 1968 DNC so I know how it
works.  Funny how you quoted that and removed the source.

I think it is of interest that BLM, which 4 years ago helped
Democrats win the election, are not falling in line and supporting Harris
like everyone else seems to be.

They are probably tired of the Democrats choosing their nominees before the
primaries.  In 2016, HRC ran while being in charge of the DNC pursestrings,
which meant no other candidates got money, and Obama convinced Bided not to
run against her, with the promise of a turn later.

In 2020, they convinced other candidates, who had delegates, to leave the race
early so that Biden could get his turn.

In 2024, Biden ran as an incumbent, which meant no one of note wanted to
run against him.  He won, and then stepped aside in favor of someone else
who wasn't even a choice on the ballot.

That someone else ran in 2020 and got *NO* delegates of her own.  Contrast
that with Tulsi Gabbard, who ran without any real party support but still
managed to win delegates.
