Showing Original Post only (View all)In my opinion, Nina Turner wanted the rewards of the Democratic Party but.... [View all]
...did not want to support anything about the Democratic Party. She seemed to be critical of everything the Party stood for or tried to accomplish. Her style of politics never appealed to me.
She seemed farther to the left than Bernie Sanders, which is about as far left as the Democratic Party will go at this time. In my opinion, the Party at this time is more center-left than far-left.
Her associations with the Bernie campaign helped her immensely but, in the end, she was not "Democratic" enough to win the election.
Just my opinion.

The whole "evil money" treads mighty close to, if not within the bounds of antisemitism.

AOC and Bernie are not out to burn the Democratic Party down. Big damned difference.

Nope. Ohio is not particularly progressive. I live in the 11th district and voted for Shontel.
