In reply to the discussion: Robert Reich, Clinton Secretary of Labor, endorses Nina Turner for Ohio special election. [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)in 2016 that dozens of state Democratic parties were stealing their primary nomination, and thus later the election, from him. Whatever Reich's reasons were for approving this ruthless sabotage of the Democratic Party and betrayal of the trust of those who believed him, I emphatically do not endorse them.
Reich's endorsement of Sanders was also effectively an endorsement of Sanders' (forerunner to tRump's) frequent (shocking!) promise to misuse superdelegate power to subvert the nomination to himself if the expected very large majority of Democrats voted for Hillary. (Yeah, I know. tRump's notes must mostly have been about what did not work.)
And here we are with Reich's endorsement of Turner., effectively an endorsement of her throwing of progressivism itself under the bus in 2016. Not enough to refuse to vote Democratic herself, she was on national TV and the internet trying to persuade others to turn against us. And thus helped throw the nation to anti-government Republicans rabidly determined to permanently eliminate the evils of progressivism in progressive, and with them all progressive programs.
I do not endorse Reich's morals, and certainly not his judgement.
