They are leftists but they don't represent Democrats. Joe Biden and BLM/Antifa are about as far from one another politically as you can get.

If they don't represent Democrats, then why do the Democrats do everything they say?
BLM/Antifa say: Defund the police.
Democrats: yes masta.
City council voted to override Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan’s recent veto of cuts to the police department’s remaining 2020 budget by a 7-2 vote, with the mayor issuing a statement after the fact indicating she might not adhere to all of the provisos laid out in the council’s proposal.
“We cannot look away from this and we can no longer accept the status quo if we truly believe that Black lives matter,” said Council President Lorena Gonzalez after expressing that she would be voting to override the mayor’s veto.

BLM/Antifa say: property rights are racist:
Democrats: yes masta
Yet even in the face of wanton destruction and violence, city ordinances are preventing Minneapolis business owners from protecting themselves and their property. As reported by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the city currently bans exterior security shutters. These are the type of shutters they pull down over a mall storefront when it closes, that would make it much harder to break in and loot it. They also prevent windows from being broken, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars to replace.

Why are security shutters banned in Minneapolis? Because city officials say they “cause visual blight,” and “create the impression that an area is ‘unsafe’ and ‘troublesome.’”

Minneapolis Law Preventing Business Owners from Protecting Their Own Property Backfires Horribly

Even in the face of wanton destruction and violence, Minneapolis is preventing business owners from taking a simple precaution to protect themselves and their property ... because of aesthetics.

Just make sure the videos are post 1945....

Also: are you implying that ANTIFA/BLM does NOT represent the Left in the US?

If you think Antifa or blm makes up the +50% that votes democrat in the US then you're too far gone for reason. The majority is usually silent, that goes for both sides of the political isle.
 
Senate report:
The records acquired by the Committees also show that Hunter Biden and his family were involved in a vast financial network that connected them to foreign nationals and foreign governments across the globe. Hunter Biden and Devon Archer, in particular, formed significant and consistent financial relationships with the corrupt oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky during their time working for Burisma, and their firms made millions of dollars from that association while Joe Biden was vice president and the public face of the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy. Rosemont Seneca Thornton, an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden, received $3.5 million in a wire transfer from Elena Baturina, who allegedly received illegal construction contracts from her husband, the then-mayor of Moscow. Moreover, Archer’s apparent receipt of money for a car from Kenges Rakishev of Kazakhstan while Vice President Biden was in Kyiv is especially concerning in light of the timing. And finally, Biden and Archer’s work with Chinese nationals connected to the Communist regime illustrate the deep financial connections that accelerated while Joe Biden was vice president and continued after he left office.

Correct. But that doesn't mean the Democrats have a severe case of the tail wagging the dog.

Not unlike the EFF and ANC:

100% correct...

But in this case silent due to fear of victimization by the Left.

In this age of virtue signaling and pandering, why would someone that supports the left, keep it quiet?

The silent vote will be for the Right....

Yet the same can be said for numerous factions of the Republican party. At the end of the day its all about money for both factions. They will use whatever societal distractions they can so the rubes aren't too focused on the corruption and corporate ball licking.

No silent because they are going about their day and dont have time to champion BLM slogans online or in real life. You just need to look at why people vote democrat and things like healthcare are at the top of the list, not a BLM riot.

I think you're confused on the actual meaning of the Silent Vote and how it is discussed and analyzed in polls...

As you were...

It's another example of the oft used 80/20 rule. Which is why it was mentioned quite a while back that the democrats should stop giving the far-left so much power. Just because people scream the loudest does not mean it represents the majority.
There is a large progressive base of Bernie supporters that the more moderates like Biden try to placate. So potential split in the party or potentially alienate the more moderate base.

And was he saluted or praised? No. Was he kicked out like Steve King? Yes

If you wan't to play these type of games you have to include facts like the Grand Cyclops of the KKK being an active democrat member until the day he died. Biden was even friendly with him. Or more recently that Richard Spencer and the like endorsed Biden. Whether he accepted the nomination or not isn't really relevant. Linda Sarsour has made numerous anti-Semitic statements yet she has not been removed. That's the one difference. The Republican party quickly removes bad actors. I want to see the Democrats do the same.

I find this type of mudslinging unproductive. The point is you won't see any public endorsement of Neo-Nazis by any modern party. You do however see pandering to BLM
