Of course, it's all about the Democrat Vote:

This potential mistake only becomes more glaring when you consider Democratic candidates’ recent acquiescing to BLM’s demands, and the knowledge that President Barack Obama rode a wave of unprecedented African-American turnout levels and support during both of his successful presidential bids. Black voices and votes have arguably never had greater agency and influence in American society; so aspiring to disengage from the political process is emphatically a step in the wrong direction.

The rejection provides political cover and plausible deniability for the Democrat Party.

They can still tacitly support BLM’s goals, even provide some level of support, but they can also distance themselves from the radical and violent tactics used to achieve them.

It’s a particularly nice, if obvious, piece of political kabuki theater.

Actually they have never been as deluded as they are through this movement.
