(151,269 posts)Ask yourself why Nina Turner is disliked here. I'm sure you know the answer to that question. We have all sorts of people in this forum. Some are fans of Bernie Sanders. Others are fans of other candidates. All can post as they choose, just as I can.
What you do not, and cannot know is my intent. Read my post. Don't attempt to guess why I wrote it.
Many people have suggested that Nina Turner might be Bernie's pick. He picked her to be a major figure in his campaign. I am not a fan of Nina Turner, because she voted for Jill Stein in 2016, and is very proud of that. I would not support her selection as the VP nominee. But, I did not say that in my OP. I simply asked what people thought of that idea. Why did I do that? Because I want people to think about that idea as part of their thinking about the primary race in general.
That's what we do in this forum. Yes, my post was satirical, because I can frankly not imagine that anyone would take the idea of Nina Turner being the VP nominee seriously. And yet, people do take it seriously, so I raised the question in hopes they would think about that idea a little more.
I know where I'm posting very well. My posts here are germane to the topic of this forum. They are designed to stimulate conversation and discussion. That is the function of this forum.
That you do not care for my posts is irrelevant. Completely irrelevant. I post what I mean to say. You do not know me. You do not know my intent. You do not get to suggest that I posted to inspire hatred. Why do you not get to do that? Because you are incorrect. You have imputed an intent that is not present. Read my OP again, please.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
