In reply to the discussion: Nina Turner: Wrong for Ohio [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)27. You made it worse for Nina by giving us the "complete" quote...
She clearly hates Democrats and the Democratic party... she doesn't want to be here, and the contempt she has for loyal Democrats is returned to her as well.
In retrospect, sure.
How gracious!
But people on the left end of the Democratic spectrum weren't excited about an "it's my turn" candidate who refused to talk about the kitchen table issues that were and are central.
What horseshit.
Let's be honest, even people who ought to have known better like Turner really didn't think Trump could win. They were incredibly stupid to stay home,
With her encouragement. Stop making excuses for her.
but I can understand why it might have seemed a viable option in 2016.
Blah-blah-blah. Excuses, excuses. She voted for Jill Fucking Stein and refused to support Biden. That's all anyone needs to know. No "pretty bow" or shifting the blame is going to change that.
Third Way is all about keeping the rich as rich as possible and hates socialism and social programs.
More talking points and buzzwords. Nonsense is still nonsense no matter how many catch-phrases it's wrapped in.
Of course they don't want to see people like Turner elected.
They're not the only ones... and not for the paranoid BS reasons stated. Nina is no victim. She's a snake who wants to do everything she can to get "revenge" in the Democratic party and "split the vote" with her bullshit "People's Party" which will give more power to the Republicans. Everyone knows it. No sense in pretending otherwise.
All I'm telling you is that I'm smarter than I'm being given credit for. Don't try to play ME for a fool.

Dealings with Third Way in the past, they are a group to create fissures in the Democratic Party.

Lol. She's a backstabber and untrustworthy. Just because she worked for Senator Sanders

Yes... there are a couple of others that make it VERY CLEAR who she is and what she's about.

She made it clear that she has nothing but contempt for the Democratic party and President Biden...

Neither one of those has started their own "People's Party" to siphon-off votes from Democrats.

Don't know what you mean by "good guys and bad guys." Something is a fact and real, or it isn't.

By the way, progressives said they would've voted for Elizabeth Warren if she'd run in 2016.
