2. I haven't polled them and there nothing stopping them from speaking out as Beto has done.

That's the reason I'm highlighting O'Rourke. He continues to speak out on these issues, and his social media team broadcast them.

I'm sure you would take that bet. Frankly, we don't need their silent backing of BLM. We need their support in interviews, in social media post (no matter how toxic the internet has become) and out on the street.

With campaign offices and teams of public relations positions. I don't think it's that big a problem to make statements on a multitude of issues. That's also why I praise O'Rourke's social media team as they make sure his stances in and out of states are reaching their desired audiences. I like him, but I don't go searching for his takes on these issues.

Nowhere in my post did I say any Democrat was bad.
