    #BLM can now unilaterally shut down a major presidential candidate's campaign events at will, and the candidate has no recourse! Kinda crazy

        If Bernie were to summon security and forcibly remove the #BLM activists, it would be an unmitigated disaster. So he's entirely hamstrung.

        Conundrum: BLM's last interruption (at Netroots) was a major success. Bernie modified his stump speech. Why would they *not* keep pushing?

        If a tactic proves effective, the reasonable course of action would be to continue using that tactic. Bernie's in a bind here.

        @_Almaqah I believe she has secret service. No way anybody's getting onstage at a Hillary event.

        @miamiaman It's a conundrum in part because the previous BLM interruption (at Netroots) was successful by any measure. So why not press on?

        @miamiaman "effective" insofar as he made myriad rhetorical concessions to BLM in the wake of the previous interruption

        @Burrite Effective by the lights of BLM, who (generally) tend to place high priority on rhetorical affectations and gestures.

        @Burrite I don't know. They've effectively burnished their leverage with the tactic, so why stop now?

        @goatunit @overlayered He traveled across the country to speak to 100s of people and had to abort the event. Frustration not unreasonable.

        @goatunit I'm not sure that shutting down campaign events is somehow the purest expression of "socialism" but I take your points.
