![BLM blasts Dems as 'party of hypocrites' for 'installing' Kamala without 'public voting process'](https://mr.cdn.ignitecdn.com/client_assets/thepostmillennial_com/media/picture/66a0/903f/79d3/c93a/27f6/f6e8/original_kamala.jpg?1721798718)
"The DNC’s elites and billionaire donors bullied Joe Biden out of the race."
On Tuesday, the radical group that was responsible for much of the riots and unrest across the US in the summer of 2020, said in a statement, "A 24-hour process of talking to party bosses is not democratic, nor is it a process Democrats should be proud of." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries insisted that Harris was not a installed by the party "top down," but that "she earned the nomination from the grassroots."
BLM, which is the grassroots, called out the party for refusing to host debates during the primary which would have “likely allowed America to see the decline of Joe Biden.”
It also slammed Democrats for changing “the primary schedule and created ruled that made it almost impossible for non-Biden candidates to appear on the ballot effectively clearing the field of any challengers.”
The group also said that “after one poor debate performance, The DNC’s elites and billionaire donors bullied Joe Biden out of the race.” BLM also accused the Democratic party of eroding democracy. "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," the group added.
The group then demanded that the party it usually aligns with "…immediately host an informal, virtual snap primary across the country prior to the DNC convention in August."
The statement continued, "We call for the Rules Committee to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates. The current political landscape is unprecedented, with President Biden stepping aside in a manner never seen before. This moment calls for decisive action to protect the integrity of our democracy and the voices of Black voters."
Shalomyah Bowers, a BLM leader, said, "This is not an attack on Kamala Harris or Black women, and right now we aren’t questioning Kamala’s qualifications or capabilities. This is about the nominating process. Those of us who care about the principles of democracy cannot be serious about installing Kamala Harris and an unknown vice president as the Democratic nominee without any semblance of a people-powered process. Not delegates and party elites, but actually asking communities across the country if they believe this should be the Democratic ticket. Anything less is unserious in the quest for democracy."
According to BLM, “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. It would undermine their credibility on issues related to democracy. Imagine our first Black woman president not having won some sort of public nomination process. The pundits would immediately label it as affirmative action or a DEI move, and any progress made by a President Harris would be on shaky foundations. If Kamala Harris is to be the nominee, it must be through a process that upholds democratic principles and public participation.”
