What's up with the Nation? Calling us DEMS establishment? Madam45for2923 Jul 2017 #1
I stopped subscribing to that magazine. murielm99 Jul 2017 #2
Me too...they can get their money from "our revolution" and other third party riffraff. Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #87
Not surprised at all.... CherokeeDem Jul 2017 #3
and Nina mentions "the Senator" as if he was on board with the idea of endorsing non-DEMS! Madam45for2923 Jul 2017 #7
Those people are blindingly naive. Blue_true Jul 2017 #8
It was a big mistake letting a certain senator run as a Dem. Nothing but divisiveness has followed. brush Jul 2017 #44
Nevermind the fact that anyone on Twitter knows Turner hates Obama Blue_Tires Jul 2017 #81
I see this as a good thing. NCTraveler Jul 2017 #4
But at voting time, the tea party voted republican Blue_true Jul 2017 #9
"But at voting time, the tea party voted republican" NCTraveler Jul 2017 #12
That's not what Nina is proposing. BzaDem Jul 2017 #62
Yep she has crossed over and should be kicked out of the party for this...assuming she is still a Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #88

Black Lives Matter? NYResister Jul 2017 #65
How much exactly did the black lives matter advance civil rights. With the election of Donald Trump? MiddleClass Jul 2017 #78
Shit...people shouldn't even put up a fight. They should just let themselves be trampled on because JCanete Jul 2017 #84
Black lives matter did not elect Trump...so take it back. Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #89
Black Lives Matter, period. NYResister Jul 2017 #107
That's ridiculous to lump #BlackLivesMatter in Cha Jul 2017 #82
Here is more from the article... Trial_By_Fire Jul 2017 #10
So Nina Turner feels that it's not the job of those who want to use the Democratic Party.... George II Jul 2017 #14
I found it interesting that more people are registered independents than either major party... Trial_By_Fire Jul 2017 #15
Neither of those apply to registered voters, but what they "consider" themselves to be. George II Jul 2017 #16
You didn't address his point: JHan Jul 2017 #17
Why? We have a two party system...and all splinter group like Our Revolution (gag) do Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #32
That's not news. It's been that way for a while. Some lean right and some lean left brush Jul 2017 #47
I find it interesting that anybody thinks lapucelle Jul 2017 #51

Oh, to answer your question... Trial_By_Fire Jul 2017 #19
Yes. George II Jul 2017 #20
Where? Trial_By_Fire Jul 2017 #21
Read your own post above. George II Jul 2017 #22
OK, She said... Trial_By_Fire Jul 2017 #23
That was a response to a specific question. George II Jul 2017 #24
Then what seems to be the problem? Trial_By_Fire Jul 2017 #25
My comment, to which you apparently objected to or at least didn't "see", was: George II Jul 2017 #33
No, no objection, but I did not catch the DNC, et.al. part...sorry...It wasn't clear in your posts.. Trial_By_Fire Jul 2017 #36
Not moot, and it has nothing to do with the primaries (except that you're referring to the primary!) George II Jul 2017 #40
Remember that Sanders caucuses with the Dem Party and... Trial_By_Fire Jul 2017 #42
You're deflecting, or you don't get what I'm saying or what Nina Turner said. George II Jul 2017 #43
Talk about deflecting... Trial_By_Fire Jul 2017 #45
She didn't get that comment out of thin air, it was in response to a directed question, which.... George II Jul 2017 #50
This is not boding well. More politics of division. It was a big mistake letting a certain senator.. brush Jul 2017 #49

Tell us how you really feel...! Trial_By_Fire Jul 2017 #34
She will endorse Republicans...thus her 'party' organization whatever...is a scam which will help Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #110
Yeah, she needs to cart her ass off and form a third party then Blue_Tires Jul 2017 #80
Exactly. The Democratic Party has to set the record straight on this matter or we will wind up politicaljunkie41910 Jul 2017 #106
arguably, she doesn't agree she needs to foster unity with the leadership as the priority. JCanete Jul 2017 #85
She can't foster unity while endorsing Republicans...and let me just say here and now...I call Nina Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #90
well she defined a near impossible republican. I don't give a fuck about the R if that person is JCanete Jul 2017 #94
I ABSOLUTELY DO CARE.It is the number of Senators who set the agenda and gives power to a party... Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #111
This is a moot point until we actually see any candidate with an R endorse the things she's talking JCanete Jul 2017 #117
Perhaps a viable candidate determines that the losses that he/she would incur with.... George II Jul 2017 #97
when have people or organizations ever thrown in their support for a candidate whether the JCanete Jul 2017 #101
And so we're back to my original statement(s) - Our Revolution, headed up by Nina Turner and.... George II Jul 2017 #103
So am I if that candidate looks more like a democrat than the D on the ticket. Hopefully that will JCanete Jul 2017 #109
Hopefully anyone without a "D" next to his name goes down in flames. Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #112
without even knowing the candidate, the issues, the platform, you would say this? why? nt JCanete Jul 2017 #116

Good thing Nina Turner isn't a member at DU, she'd be banned by Skinner in a NY minute. George II Jul 2017 #13
I could not believe that when I read it, George. sheshe2 Jul 2017 #27

Our revolution which is nothing but Bob'ers and Greens is dead to me...so is Turner. Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #28
The perfect person to destroy Sanders revolution. LiberalFighter Jul 2017 #29
I think it's time to do some investigating into who finances Nina Turner Maven Jul 2017 #30
Bernie Sanders deliberately set up Our Revolution as a 501(c)4 Demit Jul 2017 #35
According to their web site: Trial_By_Fire Jul 2017 #38
That was after the fact, in response to initial criticism. Demit Jul 2017 #55
Interesting. Maven Jul 2017 #39

OK, so tell me again: who is the "our" in Our Revolution? Squinch Jul 2017 #58
You know what, I had to go back and read through the Our Revolution site ProudLib72 Jul 2017 #60
But that statement just clobbered Bernie and any plans he might have. With her at the helm, Squinch Jul 2017 #63
Yep, but I don't think she cares ProudLib72 Jul 2017 #64
she has no political career other than something like jill Stein JI7 Jul 2017 #67
She thinks she will be the next Bernie Sanders in my opinion...she is deluded. He has decades of Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #93

Yes she is. Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #95
Maybe Ms. Turner is on Putin's payroll, too! Like Jill Stine... TheDebbieDee Jul 2017 #68

Naomi Wolf is a Canadian...I have never understood why any like her or think she is smart. Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #96
