In reply to the discussion: In her own words: Nina Turner seems to hate the Democratic party. [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)27. Good catch! It reinforces what we already know about her.
Interesting how Nina refers to Democrats and the Democratic party as "they" rather than "we".
Good catch! It reinforces what we already know about her. It's just more of the same BS that we're used to.
I mean... come ON now... she has so much contempt for the Democratic Party that she went and started her OWN PARTY. But, apparently they didn't have what it takes to get her very own "People's Party" on the ballot in Ohio. So as a last resort, she grudgingly decided to run "as a" Democrat. Which means (obviously) that she's not really a Democrat... she just plays one when it's convenient for her political and personal aspirations.
There is enough dysfunction in Congress.
I know, right? I'm reminded of other fringe representatives who pout and stomp their feet and threaten to "tank" important legislation if they don't get their way.
All I'm trying to say is that Ohio deserves better, and our entire country deserves better than to have someone in congress who would willingly (and eagerly) bring the entire thing to a halt.

Toxic, isn't it? In her own selfish way, she's trying to INTENTIONALLY harm the Democratic party.
