Fast forward…now, 50 days out we are scrambling to figure out why support is fleeting. You even have some setting the narrative to blame BM for GA’s performance this November. However, this y’all fault…your worldview is preventing you from properly engaging and turning out BM.
Georgia progressives intentionally made BM an afterthought knowing full well they would be the deciding factor in this election. They would rather persuade lost white dems then engage the 2nd most loyal group in the party.
They would rather take advice from DC, then listen to the voices on the ground. But I get it…BM are difficult to organize. It’s expensive, and you can’t do it w/o addressing decades of destructive polices and programs.
You can’t do it w/o explaining why you’ve ignored us.

Quite frankly…most black organizers in the space spew just as much vitriol and angst towards BM as white supremacist. But they’re liberal/progressive so it’s often overlooked…
