But it seems to me that there are several versions of BLM run by several different people with differing agendas. There is no name representing it and until it gets organized that way, can it be taken all that seriously? I think this was brought up in the TV series "Newsroom" when Jeff Daniels challenged a 99%'er by saying You have no face, you have no message. You need to congeal your movement into one message with one spokesperson and a few surrogates - or else you're all just yelling into the wind. That's BLM. There are realistic and pragmatic wings and there are radical wings. And the radical wing will never be happy with anything anyone ever does. I understand why they exist, but the execution is a mess. They need their MLK. They needs someone that speaks for them with one unifying message and that doesn't seem to be happening. So what is BLM? It's an acronym with a bunch of people yelling into the wind. If they are not happy, they can run their own candidate.
See, the problem wasn't the job Biden has done. He's done an excellent job. Has he botched a few things? Yes, he's human, but overall he's done a very good job and that work needs to continue, but seeing his debate performance and his slowing physical movements in recent months, it was clouding the message. Now the legacy can continue with someone more vibrant and inspiring for a wide swath of younger voters. He simply is too old for a second term. It's just the truth. That job ages people and he was older to begin with - so passing the torch to the VP, which is a little unusual, makes perfect sense. It's like a logo re-branding, with the product being the same - you just needed to modernize. They have and it has galvanized the movement and completely cut the legs out from under the singular Republican strategy of "HE'S OLD!". Actually, it's flipped it on it's head. Both Trump and Biden are too old but now only Trump has to deal with that. The new Republican strategy of the whole DEI thing is only working with the people that are already on board. Let them continue on that path.
