... I don't know if this post will get reported, or not... I think we've got to look at ourselves and call out individuals like Nina Turner. Look at the Republicans; most of them went along with wretched talk and behavior of the loser Trump. I don't consider Turner a Democrat.

But they failed to make the ballot, so as her People's Party put it:

"The People’s Party isn’t on the ballot in Ohio yet so she will have to run as a Democrat"

Turner holds what can be easily described as radical views that put her so far left of the Democratic Party that it is perplexing that she wants to run as a Democrat.

Something happened in 2016 when she quit the Clinton campaign and went over to the Sanders campaign. There was a falling out that embittered her.

What I was trying to say is that it is strange to me that she is even willing to run as a Democrat when she really has nothing but animus toward the Democratic Party.
