The 2024 presidential election continues to take unexpected twists and turns as Black Lives Matter (BLM) is demanding that the Democratic National Convention host a primary. Vice President Kamala Harris (D) has already secured the necessary delegates to become the new nominee, but BLM is questioning the move. Calling Democrats the "party of hypocrisy," BLM has taken issue with Vice President Harris becoming the nominee.
BLM released scathing comments this week regarding the Democratic Party's search for a new presidential nominee after President Joe Biden (D) announced this past weekend that he would be stepping down from the race.
In a statement, BLM argued that "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."
Citing the Democratic Party's response to finding a new nominee as "troubling," BLM shared why a different course must be taken.
According to BLM, "the DNC refused to host debates during the primary, even though a vast majority of Democratic voters wanted them. This would have likely allowed America to see the decline of Joe Biden in 2023." "The DNC changed the primary schedule and created rules that made it almost impossible for non-Biden candidates to appear on the ballot, effectively clearing the field of any challengers to the incumbent president," they added. Finally, "following the primary where millions of Black voters weighed in, after one poor debate performance, the DNC Party elites and billionaire donors bullied Joe Biden out of the race."
Ultimately, BLM notes that the Democratic Party has gone to great lengths to warn that "democracy is on the ballot," but they feel that the recent actions taken by the DNC show "erosions within the Democratic Party." "Calls for unity cannot come at the expense of democracy."
"We do not live in a dictatorship."
