Now it is time for us to ask: What kind of world do we want to build from the ashes of this pandemic and economic depression?
One week after the Democratic and Republican national conventions, people from all walks of life will come together to discuss the state of the nation and plans to form a major new political party in America. A party free of corporate money and influence. A peoples party.

A choice between Biden and Trump is no choice at all:
Progressives #DemExit and join forces for a major new party...

Why didn't Superdelegate SenatorNinaTurner© do the ethical thing and resign her position at the DNC back in April?

(28,342 posts)And the harm part? Let's just say it wouldn't bother me very much either if it did happen.
If they want to do a "two halves" collage, it should be one of Turner and Putin.

(18,294 posts)She was elected in 2015 and serves a 5 year term.
She was a superdelegate in 2016 as well.

(95,248 posts)Turner and her ilk this year aren't just objectively the left auxiliary of the christo-fascist right, they are actually and knowingly now the left auxiliary of the christo-fascist right.

(15,325 posts)Nina Turner calling Trump & Biden two halves of one "bowl of shit".. disqualifies her from ever having a voice in our Party.
You know who she sounds like..?

It was like putting those green icky stickers on something to protect a toddler.
Ok for babies but as adults, the free thinking mind went missing. Cults are that way.

(5,969 posts)when she just joins an existing third party (again). Your major point stands, of course. She's a super delegate whose primary focus is to persuade as many people as possible to not vote for Democrats.
lapucelle
(18,294 posts)Of course, although there is no telling what Superdelegate SenatorNinaTurner© will do during the general election season, I'll bet dollars to donuts that it will not be to elect the Democratic ticket.
A partys name is its first impression and identity. It can lead people to see themselves reflected in the party and invite them to learn more, or it can convey that it is not for them. For an independent party to become a major party, people from all walks of life must be able to see themselves belonging to it from the start. That takes a party name and character that encompasses and invites everyone. The Peoples Party is a statement in itself, that a political party must belong to the people, and that all are welcome. It also leads people to ask, Who do the major parties belong to?
The Green Partys name unfortunately leads many to view it as a niche environmental party that sidelines other pressing issues, like the cost of health care, housing and education. That means that fewer people identify with it and take the time to learn more. Legally it cannot change its name without starting the party over.
The Green Party also has to start over with ballot access petition collection in most states every four years. Its another reason that we might as well start over with a fresh and energetic new party.

(15,325 posts)Great Nina, gather all your 'Democratic' HATERS into one group of filthy vile memes, pics & screeching replies.
Better for us all as we carefully piece together a better America.
Call yourself the PPParty or whatever you like, Nina Turner, the time has come to stop using the D behind your name & the benefits it has granted you.
Add another rage filled hate group to the fringe of society.
I'm surprised she didn't call it the NinaTurner Party...
GTFO.of our Democratic Party ..
NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)How long does she get to call herself "Senator Nina Turner"?? At most, it should be "STATE Senator" or "Ohio State Senator".
In my opinion her continued use of "Sen. Nina Turner" is deceptive puffery.
I hate her as much as I hate Cornel West, Michael Moore and Susan Sarandon.
Budi
(15,325 posts)Cornel, Sarandon, Krystal Ball, ....
To think Nina & Cornel were once on the board of the Sandes Institute. Bet they'd like to distance those 2 asap.
Vere off & hate away, losers.

Bring them all home, Nina! Thanks for finally clearing the fringe hate-group from the D Party.
You can now yell & post mean things on social media from the outside.

She and anyone else involved in this should be stripped of their DNC membership and Super Delegate status (she is both a DNC member and Super Delegate as of now)

(42,862 posts)I don't know what Bernie saw in her. She is obviously doing her level best to kneecap Biden, and help Trump. What a despicable thing to do! Treacherous. Evil.
