I've been saying this very thing for the last couple of years. Trump and Sanders voters have more in common with each other than they'll ever know. As do Gabbard, AOC and some of the Ted Cruz voters. People would be well served to get past their ideas of who's on their side.

Review the local news interview with the black Portland cop who says that every time he tries to speak person to person to a black protestor, a white person whitesplains to them not to talk to him.
He also mentioned how much it hurt him to be a black man at a "Black Lives Matter" protest, notice that the minorities on the police line were far more numerous than among the mostly white protestors, and hear racism from the protestors like he had the "biggest nose they had ever seen". So, perhaps, things like that, but you can judge for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha-7SETmJD4
I think I know what you're talking about. I thought it happened a couple times, lol.
Yeah, I immediately knew that BLM was a dead-on-arrival movement after the seattle stage-storm incident - by which I mean in terms of effective long term change they wanted, not in terms of growth. Now they've gone from pushing one of their longest civil rights defenders off the stage to burning down Portland. Always fighting their biggest allies behind the front lines where they know it's safe.
The deplatforming story rings a bell, too. I guess DK read the tea leaves on that stuff. Most of the cynical media people saw this non-nuanced, ineffective socio-political movement get going and instead of analyzing it as so for the public, they just hopped on board the money train to "Hate, Inc." lol
For the first time in my LIFE, the public was seriously starting to discuss police reform. Qualified immunity, no-knock raids, body cams....all on the table.
Then Portland burned for 100+ days and continues to this day. Real police reform set back decades, while DC gets walled off.
Did you ever hear the leak about a BLM meeting with Hillary in '16? Supposedly she asked them what practical policies they wanted leaders to implement and they had NOTHING. They weren't even prepared for that basic f'ing question. Then (again, supposedly) she replied to them something like "I'm a politician. I get elected to make POLICY. If you don't bring me a POLICY then I can't run on it to get elected and then implement it." One of those few times Hilary actually seems likable in a wonky-grumpy way behind the scenes.
So when they (BLM/Antifa) started tearing down
Portland I knew that they were probably going to have nothing prepared when they were asked to come to the bargaining table. They just don't seem to learn. They have the chance to save lives and liberty if they just don't make perfect the enemy of the good but they're just too stupid to know it.
By now - to what you're saying - the public has caught on and turned against them, and police reform isn't as plausible anymore. I'd also add that an effective future Class revolution will also be undermined now that- in complete desparation -the public (including alleged "Left") has now allowed the security state to grow in power in response.
My point is I think the good ol' fashioned thumbscrew will be legally-sanctioned again by the time we get a poor vs. wealth Revolution going, thanks to BLM/Antifa.
You might want to realize that the people falsely telling you that the left is all "woke cancel culture" are doing so to foster exactly that division that's being discussed here. While you're busy fretting about cancel culture, they're stealing all the money.
The people trying to accuse Bernie of racism are working for people well to his right. The centrists weaponize idpol against the left, so they don't have to argue with us.

Except for the racism.....

Sorry, what exactly is the cop trying to discuss, "person to person"? "Here's why we tear gas and murder with impunity, can't we talk about that?"
He also mentioned how much it hurt him to be a black man at a "Black Lives Matter" protest, notice that the minorities on the police line were far more numerous than among the mostly white protestors, and hear racism from the protestors like he had the "biggest nose they had ever seen".

or search "KGW black police portland protest"
3:55 - He says the black protestors were coming up to him to ask him why he would be on that line in light of G. FLoyd
I guess that video answered the question, glad to be of service!
Define racism.
See Jonathan's comment. The "racism" was (and still is) a narrative used to silence one side of the political spectrum.
Bernie was accused of being anti-Semitic at one point if I recall correctly. Too lazy to dig up links and it doesn't matter anyway.
It worked so well on Corbyn, they gave it a run in the US. Didn't work so well against Bernie given he's Jewish.
They remind me of kids who keep using Husky pencils a little too long.
Exactly. Racism, anti-semetism, and they even tried to metoo him for not micromanaging each one of his 100million volunteers.
"ghetto vermin" - yeah, you seem nice

It's even worse than you say.

100. I thought the same things as well.
