1/ While #BLM is the largest protest movement in history of the US, Congress has not responded to it with even one piece of legislation. That’s how unresponsive Congress is to the voices of the people.

2/ That’s why the most powerful direct action at this point (not instead of but in addition to others) is marching to the voting booth. Has the system been corrupted? Yes - but don’t let it be corrupted further by not using it at all. Friends don’t let friends not vote. #Nov3rd

Try getting any legislation past McConnell’s iron hold on the GOP Senate. Obama couldn’t. He had a year left on his term and swamp rat Mitch refused to appoint Obama’s nominee to SCOTUS. Vile, contemptible MITCH!

Dems only care about BLM every election cycle. They use it to funnel money to their elections. Research it.

Far from being the largest protest movement in US history. Far.

You are wrong on this. Legislation has been written and passed by the democratic led House of Reps. The bill sits on the Republican Senate Majority Leader’s desk because republicans don’t care. We have to take back the Senate to free up hundreds of these bills for vote.

Mitch McConnell and his Senate Republican Majority are blocking 100s of Democratic Bills. Mitch vowed to block all of Nancy Pelosi's Agenda. He did the same with Barack Obama. A Russian Oligarch is building a large Factory in Kentucky to help Mitch get reelected.

I would suggest @RBReich, labor Sec under Clinton, film Saving Capitalism. He exposes how crony capitalism works and why large powerful corporations are pulling the strings of legislative action and not the citizens. The Citizens United decision was a terrible thing.

Libertarians have. Rand’s justice for breeona Taylor act to end no knock warrants. Amash’s bill to end qualified immunity. Vote Gold in 2020.

So what exactly does BLM want? I just hear a bunch of complaining, followed by harassment, riots, looting and burning. Maybe they should present the problem (with actual data), then argue the solution. Until that happens, they’ll continue to be ignored.
