Despicable.

No Thanks on Nina Turner
PunkinPi
(4,875 posts)Shontel Brown has been receiving some really good endorsements in the last few days as well...
- CBC (Congressional Black Caucus)
- Northeast Ohio Young Black Democrats
- AFT (American Federation of Teachers)
Not to mention Rep Clyburn and Hillary Clinton last week.

Gee, what to believe? Her documented anti-Democratic behaviors that helped Trump/Repubs over two national elections? Or her pro-Democratic statements while she campaigns for an empty seat in a strongly Democratic district?
No thanks, all right.

(42,862 posts)Here's Nina at some bullshit "People's Party Convention" (or something) singing the praises of Jill Stein and getting all huggy with her.
The youtube link is below. Jill makes her appearance near the 22-minute mark.
It's clear that Nina Turner is NOT a friend of the Democratic party. She's bitter about the Democrats choice, and in a fit of revenge-motivate anti-party retribution, she's doing her best to sabotage Hillary so that Trump will get the presidency.
She's only running "as" a Democrat this time because there wasn't enough time to get "The People's Party" on the ballot in Ohio. This time, she's using the party that she hates only as a means-to-an-end. She's grudgingly running as a Democrat.
No thank you very much. I prefer candidates who are LOYAL DEMOCRATS and who do their level best to unite and uplift the party (not divide and weaken). That serves no good purpose, does it?
When she compared Joe Biden to a "BOWL OF SHIT" she disqualified herself forever.

(47,430 posts)makes creating ads against her a breeze. She is her own worst enemy. Does she really want to hold public office or does she need all the public attention?
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)at least locally, are fairly common. In politics, special talents for self aggrandizement and desire for attention will take people way beyond their level of competence.
But what then? What if they don't have what it takes to stay and do the job? Dysfunctional behaviors that got missed when scrutiny was less are right out there when they become famous. Look at Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, Tulsi Gabbard. So many others who shoot themselves in the head. Matt Gaetz. The outstanding horrible mistake who's tragically taking forever to self destruct because his dysfunctional voters already had, Donald Trump.
PatSeg
(47,430 posts)I think it becomes addictive for far too many. Once they get a taste of it, they can't let it go, even when it becomes quite clear that their day in the sun has passed. Some people don't know how to exit gracefully.
SYFROYH
(34,170 posts)Kind of weird that they didn't bring up the issue of her support for Israel given this PAC's mission.
PunkinPi
(4,875 posts)Seems their mission is to get democrats elected...
SYFROYH
(34,170 posts)Here is their mission:
Advance Policies to Ensure a Peaceful and Secure Israel
We will work to ensure Israel has the resources to defend herself, by herself, to ensure Israeli citizens Jews and non-Jews can live in peace and security.
Defend Israels Legitimacy
We will fight efforts to isolate, stigmatize or delegitimize Israel efforts that create more conflict, not peace. Peace requires constructive engagement, as well economic and political cooperation Boycotting or stigmatizing Israel are the opposite of what is needed to promote peace.
Promote a Two-State Solution and Arab-Israeli Peace through Diplomacy and Partnership
Peace can only be achieved through diplomacy between the government of Israel and its neighbors. We support, and will promote, a two-state solution with the Palestinians, achieved through direct bilateral negotiations. We respect and support Israeli democracy and believe the Israeli people have the right to determine their own future without outside parties imposing solutions on them. The United States has an important role to play, working closely with our ally, Israel, to achieve two states for two peoples living side by side in peace and security.
Encourage American Global Leadership
We support American global leadership which is essential to promoting peace, economic opportunity and hope. We advocate for a robust foreign aid budget, including diplomacy and development, enabling all people to reach a path to freedom and security, and a better future for their children. Israel has built a record of responding to these global challenges; we will encourage joint U.S.-Israel programs, such as developing renewable energy, health care innovation, solving water shortages and improving agricultural production.
Promote Progressive Values
We are also proud of the Democratic Partys role in leading fights for equal economic opportunity, gun safety, immigrant rights, civil rights, voting rights, womens rights, rights of LGBTQ people, as well education and environmental protection. We will continue the fight to achieve these goals, while opposing efforts to restrict or diminish these rights in U.S. law and policy. We will speak out against bigotry and discrimination on the basis of race, religion, gender, national origin, sexual orientation or gender preference.
Educate and Support Democratic Leaders
We will educate and support Democratic Party leaders, including candidates for the presidency and Congress, to ensure the Democratic Party and its policies and platforms continue to uphold these principles.

(1,725 posts)I wanted to post about it, but have been tied up in something for the last 2 days. It's been running on MSNBC, saw it 3 times yesterday, twice today already (MSNBC is on all day while I'm working from home ). Love it! I hope it reaches the people it needs to.
PunkinPi
(4,875 posts)I'm in VA, so obviously it isn't running here -- thanks for confirming. I'm rooting for Shontel Brown and have sent a couple of donations her way.
Chili
(1,725 posts)Her ads are so clean and nice! The only thing close to negativity was that she said she will work with Joe Biden, but Turner won't - that was it. That's probably a good thing!
