(42,862 posts)56. Perfect!
Her so-called "People's Party" is really "Nina's Party".
Perfect! She's just feathering her nest... and using this as a vehicle for fundraising.
I can also tell you this... anyone who endorsed her or supported her is someone who APPROVES of her comparing Biden to a "bowl of shit" ... and who approves of her refusing to support Biden over Trump ... and who approves of her supporting Jill Stein over Hillary. (And even if they don't specifically approve or agree with her "bowl of shit" comment, their support of her show a clear lack of good judgement and lack of standards.)
All I'm trying to say is that they've ALL tarnished their own reputations and sullied themselves by association with an anti-Democratic crackpot like Nina Turner. If any of them plan on continuing their political careers, this is something that will be used against them by potential challengers. They'll have some 'splaining to do.

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

How would you characterize it when someone refers to Democrats as "Coastal Elites"...

Analyses have shown that Sanders actually brought very few if any voters "to the table"....

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

I think Bernie felt obligated to Turner because she was so supportive in his campaigns...

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

Nina Turner's loss in Ohio means Biden doesn't need to keep caving to the left
