Does this make it official? Nina Turner has returned to the People's Party?

Does this make it official. Nina Turner has returned to the People's Party? There she is, a headline speaker at the "People's Party Convention" (in addition to being a founding member) ... I think it's safe to presume that she no longer has any loyalty-to or interest-in being a productive member of the Democratic party.



One week after the Democratic and Republican national conventions, people from all walks of life came together to discuss forming a major new party in America. More than a million people watched students, labor leaders, scientists, journalists, academics, comedians, activists, nonprofit leaders, and a former Democratic presidential candidate address the nation at The People’s Convention.

The historic gathering was covered widely in the mainstream and independent press and was nationally trending throughout the full five-hour program. At the conclusion of the Convention, attendees overwhelmingly voted in favor of, “forming a major new political party free of corporate money and influence in 2021.”

1. Someone needs to update their website. Unless they're going to prop-up a corpse on stage...

... they should probably remove Mike Gravel's name and photo from the promotional materials. (He died on June 26, 2021, aged 91)

Apparently attention-to-detail isn't a strong-suit of the "People's Party" organizers.

August, 2020. Not sure where you found that, but it's a year old.

Gravel is dirt, and I'm pretty sure Williamson has ascended into the cosmos beyond by now.
