From the newspaper editorial jalan48 Jul 2021 #4

Yeah. I read it. I don't agree with their characterization of Nina. I like people who vote Scrivener7 Jul 2021 #14

The editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer and cleveland.com is a union buster. See #28 below. Thanks. George II Jul 2021 #29

Sounds like they've moved to the left which is a good thing. jalan48 Jul 2021 #43

Seems more like they've move to the right since 2016. George II Jul 2021 #51

Seems like you trying to imply that Turner is anti-union. Cuthbert Allgood Jul 2021 #61

You may want to research her voting record as Ohio State Senator. George II Jul 2021 #69

I assume you are talking about her support in the past for charter schools in Cleveland. Cuthbert Allgood Jul 2021 #71

The only candidate in any competition has a problem with transphobic misgendering of trans women Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2021 #32

Does she vote for Democrats? Because if she does vote for Democrats, she will do a lot Scrivener7 Jul 2021 #46

Not stepping down as Cuyahoga County Democratic Party chair is not an ethical lapse. County chairs.. George II Jul 2021 #60

I see you ignored the transphobia. Cuthbert Allgood Jul 2021 #62

So did the person to whom I responded, who brought up the so-called "transphobia" in the first place George II Jul 2021 #66

It's a pretty clear statement that says Brown has made transphobic statements. Cuthbert Allgood Jul 2021 #70

So Louis Stokes would be turning in his grave..because a black woman is bring endorsed for his seat? Autumn Jul 2021 #8

Over ANOTHER very well qualified Black woman candidate who has not tried to destroy the Democratic hlthe2b Jul 2021 #10

No, you deciding Stokes is turning over in his grave because a black woman is running against Autumn Jul 2021 #15

So you are unable to distinguish between INDIVIDUAL Black women candidates. Ummm, ok, Autumn hlthe2b Jul 2021 #16

They are both well qualified, so one is as good as the other. I don't live there I don't get Autumn Jul 2021 #93

Yup. I believe Charles Blow also gave her an opportunity and she did the same thing. JohnSJ Jul 2021 #97

Did she or did she not say those words? Jedi Guy Jul 2021 #87

Why, is it fake news? She didn't say that? She didn't really mean that? betsuni Jul 2021 #92

She urged people to vote AGAINST Dems in 2016, helping throw the nation Hortensis Jul 2021 #11

I would urge people not to vote for her. She is not a trustworthy Dem Pisces Jul 2021 #25

To have good government, you elect good people. Hortensis Jul 2021 #26

As the French would say DFW Jul 2021 #37

Yep! She did not work to help elect Democrats. LiberalFighter Jul 2021 #38

Sure. Millions didn't work to help, though, but she worked against. Hortensis Jul 2021 #53

"Speaking Out" / "Standing Up to..." msfiddlestix Jul 2021 #12

Why didn't you link to the actual editorial endorsement itself instead of a subjective rehash of it? George II Jul 2021 #44

Feel free to link to the actual endorsement if it makes you feel better. jalan48 Jul 2021 #45

It just seems odd that if a newspaper publishes an endorsement the actual endorsement isn't used. George II Jul 2021 #47

The salient point is, "The largest newspaper in Ohio endorses Nina". jalan48 Jul 2021 #48

Or it could be surmised that they don't want the strongest Democrat to run against the republican? George II Jul 2021 #50

Huge Endorsement George. Huge. jalan48 Jul 2021 #52

Too bad she doesn't vote for Democrats and she encourages others not to vote for Democrats. Scrivener7 Jul 2021 #55

She's a little rough around the edges but I like her strong voice. We will need more of those to jalan48 Jul 2021 #56

No. We need people to vote for Democrats. And calling Joe Biden a bowl of shit is not "strong." Scrivener7 Jul 2021 #57
