Can By All Means Necessary (BAMN) hurt Democrats in 2020?

[Suburbia]

I found this video on YouTube on the Antifa protests in Berkeley, Calif., and one radical left-wing group is called "By All Means Necessary" (BAMN)--(it's a pretty good slogan by the way), anyway, can this radical group hurt Democrats in the 2020 elections?

The right thrives during civil unrest, so yeah. Those people shouldn't be associated with Democrats at all, but Republicans will make sure it happens.

Please tell me that posting Sargon of Akkad links isn't going to become commonplace.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

Yes.  There will be Democrats included in the list of people they injure.

[Webnicz]

Democrats must make clear that the tactics that these violent groups use don't represent their values, heck maybe even shift the blame of these radicals to the green party, unlikely but leadership should make clear these groups are radicalized.

Sargon of Akkad is vile trash, but the fact that alt-right leaning pundits like himself are doing this, pretty blatantly shows how easy it is to shoot yourself in the foot with these groups.

He's not alt-right.

It'll hurt a little bit.

[Kamala]

I don't think it'll hurt any more than BLM did with moderates and leaners; ultimately, very, very insignificant.

[Person Man]

Do abortion clinic shooters hurt Republicans?

Just because he says he isn't doesn't mean it's true. All he whines about are "muh SJWs" acting like they are a threat as great as Nazis

Does he advocate white nationalism?

He is very stupid tho

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Yes. I predicted that organizations like this would block the polls on election day in pro-Trump precincts. I was genuinely surprised nothing happened.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

BAMN's been doing this stuff for 20 years -- and they didn't need Trump to act the way they've been. The fact that people have suddenly noticed now (and somehow have ballooned it into a big deal(TM)) is really amusing to me.

Ladies and gentlemen bronz has done it again

I love how he admits he only found out about BAMN by watching an alt-right YouTube video shortly before this topic's creation, and he's already jumped to "will this hurt democrats"

Crazy right wing McVeigh hurt the GOP a bit in 1996. It goes on both sides.

While this ultimately where I stand, one little thing:

Media was less polarized, and besides a small backlash regarding one Marines Office in the downtown towards the end of the Bush admin, I can't recall any serious national exposure Berkeley has received since the '60's.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

"Can"? Assuredly.

[catographer]

Can the Bundy Standoff or Malheur Occupation, or the many wacky pro-Trump groups like Richard Spencer and the Tea Party hurt the GOP?

[Famous Mortimer]

Never heard of this By Any Means Necessary group outside of this board. They are not as important as you seem to think they are. Antifa in general are anarchist and abhor structured organizations. I agree with you that Antifa are bad but making this one weird organization the face of it is factually incorrect.

When Famous Mortimer is the voice of sanity in this thread, you know you've messed up horribly.

[Adam Griffin]

Just like all other "groups", outrages and non-issues dredged up by angsty right-wingers watching too much YouTube in the pursuit of generating faux-outrage to justify their poorly-masked anti-otherism, nobody knows or cares about this - and they're certainly not going to be basing any future votes off of it.

He's a Gamergate Trump endorsing creep. What else is he?
