"I'm in it for my own material gains...I'm a Marxist" Fiendish Thingy Mar 2022 #11
No kidding. She doesn't remotely qualify as a socialist. highplainsdem Mar 2022 #12
Sounds more libertarian. As for "liberal," I'd as soon ask MT Greene Hortensis Mar 2022 #44
Julie says that she's NOT a liberal in that tweet. Buckeye_Democrat Mar 2022 #20

Turner is likely where she is (outside Congress) bigtree Mar 2022 #64
Yes, I think so PatSeg Mar 2022 #72
I would never vote for Turner in a primary. She is not a Democrat. And I got a good look at Demsrule86 Mar 2022 #79
I don't know what her issue with Brown's proposed Act is. maxsolomon Mar 2022 #13
