It’s not a blind link: it tells you it’s from Reuters, which lets you know it’s a legit news article. You can click on it and read it.

Lecturing someone when they are angry is shitty. I would be more inclined to help if you ask nicely. Just like you wouldn’t have been mocked about the acronym thing if you just had asked what things meant. (And if that feels like a lecture, consider how I felt being treated like a little kid.)
Darren mentioned the most important part. They want an informal “virtual primary” to be held over the phone. Something that could in no way actually replace votes. It does nothing to fix the supposed problem they claim to have.
And they were willing to blow up BLM to get it. Because, to most people, that website is BLM. This will now forever be quoted by MAGA and Republicans any time anyone says Black Lives Matter.
Before I could say that Dems didn’t care about this because they do feel they got what they voted for. They don’t feel like they were cheated out of democracy. But then BLM of all groups decided to validate that Republican talking point.
That’s why I was saying the DNC would probably do it to avoid risking blowing up the convention. But I was assuming this would be wider spread than it seems to have.
We are in perilous times. A lot of things have to go right, and we don’t need those who are supposedly inside trying to tear things apart.
