Really helpful that they don't give their sources and crop the image to the point I can't tell where they get it from either. Looking at it logically, though, I'm being led to believe that BLM donated 186m to Bernie 2020. That sounds like a pretty insane amount, and when I check the Bernie 2020 financials they've gotten 218m total, so BLM would had to have donated 85% of the total Bernie 2020 budget. This sounds completely ridiculous to claim, so until I see something more than a random list of campaigns with big numbers next to them I'm going to have to assume that this claim is full of shit.

Edit 1: While looking around trying to find where this claim might be coming from I found a recent debunked claim about BLM funding that may be related but again I don't think I even need to try that hard to debunk the claim in the video.

Edit 2: Further down the rabbit hole I go and I found where the two dinguses got their list. It's a list of the expenditures from ActBlue for different campaigns. ActBlue is a funding mechanism for progressive groups and campaigns. It's like paypal. So the fact that both BLM and Bernie 2020 get donated money through this organization does not in any way mean that BLM is directly funding these campaigns.

And again, here's the tough part with being intellectually honest when it comes to politics on the internet. Snoopy gets to put a simple link to some dipshits in a youtube video making an unsubstantiated claim and because I give a fuck I have to crawl down the rabbit hole and determine what the fuck Snoopy was trying to say in the first place, how he's wrong, and how to prove it. All that from a link that took Snoopy 20 seconds after he watched these two dipshits on youtube.
Sigh.
