Democrats advised candidates not endorse the policies of Black Lives Matter
Interesting article in Common Dreams.
Newly leaked documents show Democratic campaign officials advised U.S. House of Representatives candidates not to explicitly support "concrete policy solutions" proposed by the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and to limit the number of activists invited to campaign appearances.
The Hill reports on memos leaked by hacker Guccifer 2.0 in the latest breach of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC):
Among the advised tactics, Democrats were counseled to engage with Black Lives Matter activists and "listen to their concerns" but to do so at "personal or small group meetings."
"If approached by BLM activists, campaign staff should offer to meet with local activists," the memo says. "Invited BLM attendees should be limited."
Unfortunately, these sorts of reports have come out before, and do not appear to have shaken their loyalty to establishment candidates, or their tendency to take out frustrations on candidates that address their concerns.
Comments
I couldn't find concrete policy suggestions on the BLM website
I went there to see what they recommended, but I didn't see any policy or legislative proposals. If a reader knows where those can be found, please comment below or send me a message.

Why would psychopathic
Why would psychopathic corporate Dems want to stop such desirable things? Profits and sick entertainment combining with the 'normalization' of the psychopathic corporate culture, where everyone else's life is cheap and anyone worth anything is worth real money...
Vote against both evils!
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
Interesting...when I searched for "Black Lives Matter", I found

They state their principles, but I don't see any specific legislative or policy proposals.
On the other hand, M4BL does offer detailed policy proposals. Thanks!

I think there is a political arm and a protest arm.
I consider them
Entirely different groups.
Judging by the name and the circumstances around their formation
not killing black people because of their skin color is central.
They approved Sanders racial justice platform, if that's any guide. (I guess Bernie didn't get the Pelosi memo.)
