Furthering the commentary that elections are rigged and there should be an audit.

Within the past few days, we were already starting to hear grumbling sounds coming from her campaign that included the word "rigged" and "cheated" (etc). Sound familiar?

Bye, Nina!

I think it was the "evil money" that blew her a 35 point lead and lost to a virtually unknown candidate. Surely her spitefulness and hate towards the democratic establishment that mobilized party leaders against her had nothing to do with her loss.if we are going to have progressive leaders, they need to get along with the party they are trying to be a part of.

Unless of course she starts her own party.

According to "The People's Party" (which she co-founded) Nina originally WANTED to run as a "People's Party" candidate.

Follow-up info... this was interesting:

"The People’s Party isn’t on the ballot in Ohio yet so she will have to run as a Democrat." (emphasis is mine)

https://peoplesparty.org/nina-turner-congress/


Her pathetic "People's Party" didn't have what it takes to get on the Ohio 11 ballot in time, otherwise she would have run as a People's Party candidate. The reality is this: she grudgingly ran as a Democrat and used OUR party in order to be on the ballot.

That there's no legitimate reason for a loss (or criticism) because they're the only ones fighting for The People. The only possible reason is vast Democratic corruption because the establishment is TERRIFIED of anything progressive (because they're bribed).

Everyone familiar with Our Revolution/Justice Democrats/People's Party, etc. saw this coming.
