Joe Biden Shuns Black Lives Matter, and They Are Ticked

Black Lives Matter is calling out Biden after his team has refused to respond to their requests for a meeting dating back to election night.
During the campaign Biden could comfortably sit back and let the media press its scurrilous "TRUMP IS RACIST" lie, knowing he would never be asked to speak about Black Lives Matter or any other controversial issue.
But now he can't run from BLM. He can appease that radical part of his constituency at the expense of support from most of the country, or he can continue to ignore BLM and lose the "progressives." He needs both, but he can't have both.
Identitarian Tribalists will never agree on a single hierarchy of grievance; without Trump Derangement Syndrome to unite them, the nihilistic forces the Ds have exploited will inevitably consume themselves in pressing claims of "more victimized than thou," and I hope destroy the D party while doing it.
