We can't have a war against those who employ people. As for Turner, below is what she said and a link...can I say I despise her. Sorry I ever voted for her. If you ever worked with occupy, you might understand what Turner has in mind...complete grass roots...no leaders and multiple decision makers...nothing ever gets done. We had protests against foreclosures lined up and could never work with these groups. Talk, talk all the time no action. Grass roots are important, but so is having a vibrant big tent Democratic party working in various states to elect Democrats...not Republicans or independents ...God knows who. Anyone of any political affiliation who manages to mouth the economic message our revolution promotes can get their endorsement. They are primarying Nancy Pelosi and Joe Manchin among other Democrats;but they never go after the GOP...completely foolish. If we lose the WVA seat, we could lose the ACA...18 is a high stakes election year and these folks are playing with fire.
"Meyerson went on to ask And how will Our Revolution relate to progressives within government who didnt back Bernie, like Sherrod Brown and Tammy Baldwin, if they go on to seek reelection? Her response is an indication of what is clearly self-destructive about both Nina Turner and Our Revolution. She said about those two successful and respected progressives If they want Our Revolutions endorsement they will seek it like everybody else and so they gotta start with the local affiliates, and if the local affiliates say that this is the person that we want to back, then there it is. There it is.
