Just sent a donation to Nina Turner's opponent, Shontel Brown

[redstateblues]

Turner has outpaced Brown in fundraising so far. The last thing we need in Congress is another opponent to Biden’s agenda. She has referred to Biden’s plan as “half a shit sandwich”.

[lapucelle]

1. Didn't Nina try to start a third pary last summer? N/T

[brooklynite]

4. A reminder that there are six other people running in the Primary.

[Demsrule86]

8. She did start a third party...look at her fundraising letters.

[Trueblue1968]

18. yeah she did and she lied her ass off about hillary. i CAN'T STAND NINA TURNER.

NINA TURNER IS (to borrow your phase ......) “half a shit sandwich”.

[Cha]

19. Yes.. 3rd party pusher

for jill stein was so Gaslighting Joe Biden that she tried to start a 3rd party.. how did that go..?

And, besides.. Money doesn't always translate into votes.. we've seen that Before!

[roody]

2. In that case, I will send my first

donation to Nina.

[brooklynite]

3. Wouldn't you prefer to support a Democrat?

“We’re going to get that neo-fascist out of the White House, and we’re going to build a People’s Party and get to work,” said former Ohio state Senator Nina Turner, chair of Bernie Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign, as she culminated the first-ever online creation of a political party on Sunday, August 30, following five hours of webinar speeches melding outrage and inspiration.

On the heels of the Democratic and Republican national conventions, the Movement for a People’s Party (MPP) speakers blasted this “duopoly” for its long bipartisan allegiance to corporate power, oligarchy, and militarism. Speaker after speaker skewered the Democratic Party and its nominee for decades of adherence to corporate and Wall Street interests, military spending increases and war, and its refusal to support Medicare for All, even amid a deadly pandemic.

5. Thank you.

She called Biden the same bowl of shit as Trump.

Who tf stands behind that?
Well, maybe Sarandon & the rose twitters.
Think Nina's got about 4 PACS now.
🤔

[LetMyPeopleVote]

11. I am also on the Just Us Democrat mailing list

The emails from the Just Us democrats are getting sad. I admit that I enjoy laughing at these emails

[betsuni]

25. They never mention Republicans, do they?

It's all about meanie "corporate Democrats" (the establishment status quo) who "take money from Wall Street and corporate PACS" and use the money to stop progressive legislation, followed by plaintive requests for three grassroots dollars. I can't figure out what they think they're going to "transform" the Democratic Party into.

[Demsrule86]

28. They don't...you would think it was a GOP mailing.

[betsuni]

37. After years of telling everyone Democrats are corrupt corporatists, pretty embarrassing

for them when the party finally has some power and everything's coming up progressive. If they were right, the Biden administration would continue the economic policies of Republicans. No need to "transform" a party that's already progressive. Harder to fool anybody when you're so spectacularly wrong about everything.

[Demsrule86]

53. They have been wrong since the 70's and sadly cost us multiple elections.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

42. These so-called democrats just want to destroy the party

[betsuni]

45. They refuse to understand the real history of the party and the country.

Why, I don't know.

[Demsrule86]

54. That is right. They want to burn it down to make way for the 'revolution' which is why

they never care about what the GOP does...they have the same goal really...Democratic losses.

[msfiddlestix]

59. This is a FACT. That is their ENTIRE AGENDA

Their only goal is to destroy the Democratic Party. Full. Stop.

They are as bad as Mitch McConnell, Lindsey G., Ted Cruz et al.

And to some degree it could be argued, they are worse. and Nina Turner leads that pac of traitorous Lunatics.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least to learn she was in some way involved in supporting Jan 6th Insurrection.

In any event, she may as well be a sympathizer.

She's not a Democrat. She is a 3rd Party Charlatan. And she's proud of it.

[Demsrule86]

7. Why? You prefer and avowed Democratic hater and one who contributed to Hillary Clinton's loss

in 2016 to a Democrat? Nina is not a Democrat and she is poison. She gets my vote in an election. But I am hoping Ohio rejects her...they did at least once before. I live in Ohio and will work for anyone who has shot against her in the primary. She said Republicans were welcome in her 'new' party but Democrats had to prove themselves. I truly despise Nina Turner and she has a new party you know...only running as a Democrat out of convenience. We can't even be sure she would caucus with us.

[roody]

14. I want Medicare for all.

[Budi]

15. Explain M4A please. Because in the 5 yrs its been sold as the plan to have,

I have yet to hear or see anything as to how it will be rolled out to address the 300 million ppl in the US, how much the cost nor actual policy in writing.How it would affect the enormous variables that fit under the umbrella of healthcare, from provider to patient.

The words Medicare for All must also come with a long & well thought out plan & after 5 yrs, there simply hasn't been one provided.
What is the comparison to President Biden's expanded Affordable Care Act?

I have no idea what M4A means exactly.
At least not enough to give up my current health care.
Ya can't just have a popular slogan without providing, at some point, the convincing details.

[roody]

17. Pramila Jayapal's bill.

[Budi]

38. That's it?

There isn't enough there to honestly compare a side by side with Biden's ACA.

Sorry, hers is just way to broad & with scant details necessary to just say OK.

No, I mean a line by line policy plan that speaks to the 300 million American citizens.

Like the ACA that Obama had in place before it was even debated in congress.

5 years later, they should be better prepared by now to sell M4A.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

44. Does this bill have any explanation as to how this program will be paid for?

[ismnotwasm]

58. M4A won't work without the workers and infrastructure to provide care

That is not addressed in Jayapal’s bill. She’s my rep.

When the ACA was moving forward there was a huge concern in nursing leadership about enough nurses and providers. We are already short. I’m on the staffing committee at my hospital as well as an active part of our union. Nursing plans to inspire more nursing to get their NP, which is good.

We need healthcare workers of all, kinds, especially in rural areas. We need space to work in. We need equipment. We need our healthcare workers to be paid a decent wage. We need a realistic phase in for M4A, which has never been offered. Realistic being the operative word.

In other words, using healthcare as a political football with less than useable legislation is bullshit.

[LanternWaste]

60. "I'm only 54, but I have roody moments sometimes..."

[brooklynite]

21. How will voting Nina Turner into a safe Democratic seat accomplish that?

[Cha]

22. Well you're Not going to

to get it with a filthy mouth like Nina Turner calling "President Biden like eating 1/2 a shit sandwich."

Anyone who says that is too GD Stupid to win Marsha Fudge's seat in Congress.

[Demsrule86]

23. And you think Nina can get it? No. We will get a public option most likely or a lowering of the

Medicare age...but not Medicare for All no matter who is elected in Ohio...she is one junior House member assuming she wins and I for one hope she loses the primary. I want a Democrat.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

43. Nina helped elect trump

Are you comfortable with this?

[lapucelle]

13. Didn't Nina serve as a "dreaded", "party-insider" superdelegate from 2015-2020?

If she thought that there was something wrong with that system, I wonder why she never resigned her privileged position.

[betsuni]

33. Oh right, she was part of the Democratic establishment.

The diabolically powerful corrupt corporate status quo enemy that will stop at nothing to prevent progressive legislation.



That's a little awkward.

[Cha]

20. 3rd party pusher Nina?

Calling "President Biden like eating 1/2 a shit sandwich"?!

Why should that kind of person win a seat in Congress?

Don't we have enough of those Gaslighting POS?

[Demsrule86]

24. Hi Cha! Isn't that the truth! How are you? Hubs lost his job and got a new one all in the same

week. We are so lucky...his old job didn't pay him but we complained so we will get paid and we got one week of unemployment and Cobra until the new insurance kicks in...

[Cha]

30. Congrats.. I'm so happy

for you.. having a good job is Everything!

[Demsrule86]

50. It has been a hell of a rid the last year...we are selling our Austintown house as the market is

up 20% and the youngest has transferred to Cleveland for school...so painting and cleaning sigh. I have fixed up and sold so many houses!

[Demsrule86]

6. When hubs is back to work and gets his first paycheck, I will sent her a donation also.

I can't abide Nina Turner.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

9. Good

I would hate to lose this seat by putting up a Just Us Democrat as the nominee

[Budi]

12. Not all, just us

I'll take the all inclusive big Democratic tent anyday.

All. Not just us.

[Demsrule86]

27. I worry if Nina runs...the GOP will go all out for that seat. She is not popular. If she wins the

primary, it will be name recognition.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

36. Nina is a weak candidate

We will lose this seat if she is the nominee

[Demsrule86]

51. I think we could lose the seat. She is not well liked.

[AZProgressive]

40. I don't think you know that district very well

I know someone that lives in her district and she isn't as far to the left as he would like but he did say he would vote for her if she was on the ballot for the general election. He is a registered Independent so he won't register as a Democrat to vote for Nina Turner in the primary. He probably won't vote for the other candidate if she is on the ballot for the general election.

Before this primary Nina Turner was an Ohio State Senator.

[Budi]

46. Yes she was an Ohio State Sen. Thanks to the endorsement of

BILL CLINTON!
Those ESTABLISHMENT Democrats sure are useful when ya need them.


What happened to her People's Party?
What happened with her DC Lobbying job she claimed to be taking awhile back?

She's got 4 National PACS supporting her now, so I guess those bragging rights of being the biggest funding in this OH-11 race are not so grassroots as the other candidates, afterall.

🙄

[AZProgressive]

47. The People's Party imploded awhile back

Ever since December most of the People's Party has been focusing their attention on attacking AOC. They also seem to be trying to depress future turnout by suggesting changing the Democratic Party from within is hopeless.

I haven't seen Nina Turner associate with the People's Party since she announced she was running as a Democrat in the primary. I did see the People's Party endorsed her when she announced but it isn't like they had a choice since they aren't putting up their own candidates.

[Demsrule86]

52. I live in the district so I know the district. This is not a far left district in general...not a

Nina Turner district. And your friend is not a Democrat but an independent. I have worked with Democrats here for years...some will stay home if she is the candidate...a GOP could squeak by in a low turnout election. Also, most know she is not a Democrat but is using the party. Marcia Fudge was a strong Democrat and well liked. Nina Turner will hopefully lose the primary. I would of course vote for her in ga eneral but never never in a primary. I can't stand her.

[AZProgressive]

56. She is doing well in fundraising from the state of Ohio

I know she has donations from all 50 states but she is doing especially well in the state of Ohio.

I'm not sure on the not a Democrat stuff. I think she was an Ohio State Senator as a Democrat. If you mean The People's Party they are not affiliated with each other anymore and they hate The Squad at this point.

This was a hot topic for them the last 2 days.

Podcaster receives police visit over alleged AOC threat — but there's more to the story

A podcaster said he was "harassed" by two police officers at his home in California and accused of threatening Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Twitter -- a claim he calls outrageous and provably false.

The Twitter user, who goes by @queeralamode, is demanding answers from police and the congresswoman on why he was tracked down at home on Thursday. He said the experience left him "shaken up" and "feel[ing] very unsafe in my home right now."

(Snip)

The Twitter user, @queeralamode, does not list a name on the profile but describes himself as a co-host of two podcasts. But the user posted a letter about the incident from his purported employer, Maffick LLC, that identified him as Ryan Wentz. (Twitter has labeled Maffick as Russia state-affiliated media).

(Snip)

The Capitol Police confirmed to Fox News that the Ocasio-Cortez did not flag any tweets from @queeralamode as threatening and police started this investigation as part of its regular effort to monitor threats.

[Hortensis]

16. Whoops, it's time. I dislike contributing to local races, but we know Turner's

money is almost all from out of district. We'll send some also. I'll be happy to give up a few dinners out to help send that DemExit, third-party promoter to the Green Party or wherever her chances of election would be better. And I'll be glad to find the local Democrats didn't need a single penny from me to elect someone who represents their values and goals.

[Shellback Squid]

29. wow, she certainly riles people up, I prefer any Dem over her though

[Cha]

31. Yeah, we don't like people who say..

34. Exactly! I just didn't

want to go into the whole picture.

Mahalo!!

[Hortensis]

35. She encouraged people not to vote Democratic at all.

With Trump/Repubs as the default.

There's something really, really screwed with that.

I don't doubt the passionate sincerity of people who believe they would be far better, more principled Democrats than Democrats could ever be, that they are The Only True "Progressives." But I wouldn't hire any of them to run a snack bar for fear they'd end up poisoning the customers and burning it down.

And they'd survey the ashes every bit as uber righteously as they did after the Republicans took over. Of course, they're still hoping that Republican destruction might create better opportunities for them than the Democratic Party's bowl of shit, as this person puts it.

39. Just sent another donation to Nina. Thanks for the reminder. :)

I've voted for Nina in the past and will continue to vote for her every chance I get. She's fantastic.

[Autumn]

49. I wasn't planning on donating this time but I believe I will donate to Nina this cycle too.

[Raine]

41. I like Nina

but I'm done with sending political contributions to any of them. I'm tired of the continual dunning for money, any of them would be more then happy to take my last dollar if I let them.

48. I will be donating to Shontel
