Nina Turner has filed to run for Rep. Marcia Fudge's seat.

32. The same one who calls Biden-Harris the "neoliberal" (i.e. laissez-faire conservative)

wing of the Democratic Party.

I just read down her Twitter account, and her content regarding Democrats is frankly disgusting. No mention, for instance, of what Dems in congress have done and are fighting for, only constant dishonest false equivalencies of us and Republicans via hits against a corrupt and uncaring "congress." Here's one where we are referred to separately, though: "...we need a Democratic Party that fights for voters, not corporate donors." Not a nice word for Democrats to be found, but then we are the evil uncaring landlords of congress, and soon the WH too.

She retweets a long Cornell West smear on Democrats about how Sanders was crushed by "neoliberalism." "Neoliberalism" is an oxymoron -- it means the hard-right, anti-government, anti-regulation, anti-progressive ideology adopted by the Republican leaders and their donor classes 40 years ago. Which is not nearly as long as Democrats have been fighting neoliberal economic policies, but Turner and West lie like Trumps by smearing Democrats with that term. In their version, Sanders was crushed between two inimical forces: the greedy corporatist "neoliberal" Democrats and the greedy corporatist AND neofascist Republicans.

Yes, he calls Republicans fascist but strictly for the purpose of smearing Democrats with their sins. While Democrats have been battling the fascistic tactics of the right and the real danger of a RW authoritarian takeover, Turner's feed is remarkably empty of attention to anything that might differentiate or cause anyone to remember the noble ideals and desperate need for the Democratic Party.

But she filed as a Democrat because that's the only way to win in that district.

Speaking of donors, also disgusting is that she's coming into this race with a huge amount of outside Big Money to swamp what local politicians will be raising from the actual local residents of OH-11.
