Nina “Bowl of Shit” Turner is Running for Congress

Wonderful...she can sit next to QAnon kook Marjorie Taylor Greene

I hope the "bowl of shit" loses spectacularly.

[QUOTE] Wonderful...she can sit next to QAnon kook Marjorie Taylor Greene

She’s got her eye on another seating spot.

[quote] She’s got her eye on another seating spot.

Is Cleveland as liberal as Minneapolis, Detroit, Boston and Queens?

I hope not.

It depends on the district, R5. Every state has its nooks and crannies where the loons can slip through to get to Washington.

Nina is running on the "Overheated Loon" Party line!

Nina is running on the Bald Loon Party line.

Good for her. The Congress needs more progressives.

Actually, the progressives just need to go away. They cost Dems lots of votes.

She's got a lot of nerve running as a Democrat after she abandoned the Democratic party and voted for JILL "Cunt" Stein in the General election in 2016 after her beloved Bernie lost the nomination.

Oh well, takes one cunt to know another I guess.

She really is so unhinged it is hard to look at her.

She committed the cardinal sin of not falling over for Queen Hillary.

And look where it got us, R13. Are people like you and Bernie and Nina happier with the justices that Trump put on the Supreme Court? You’ve fucked us for a generation thanks to your wretched purity tests.

R14 I’m probably the wrong person to ask.

r13 is a Hillary hating Bernie Bro.

Shun him gals!

She will win unopposed.

Dennis Kucinich has returned to the scene. His original intention was to run for Mayor of Cleveland, but talk has it that he might go against Turner. He's been out of the scene for so long that mayor might be more attainable.

She’s nothing but a trouble maker. With democrats having a VERY slim majority, if this woman gets in she and the squad can torpedo any bill that Pelosi wants to pass.

She definitely seems to have some psych issues, which is too bad. She seems almost manic whenever on TV lately.

R9 No sweetie, the idea of more of the same cost the Dems votes, the progressives made some of the strongest increases.

"No sweetie, the idea of more of the same cost the Dems votes, the progressives made some of the strongest increases."

Where?

Defund the police cost the Dems in the House. The moderates did nothing to stop the rhetoric.

What were the moderates supposed to do to stop the rhetoric, R24?

Nancy Pelosi has to be petrified. The squad is growing and they are the most powerful people in congress. If they don’t like a bill it isn’t passing. Hello somebody! Go Nina!

She is fucking trash. Bernie's campaign was helmed by the griftiest grifters. Nina is one of them. She makes AOC seem as politically sophisticated as LBJ by comparison.

I cannot stand this woman. She campaigned against the last two Democratic nominees. If she got her way and influenced the election, what did she hope to redeem? Already four years of Trump, another four years? Some people do not think beyond their own noses, and she is one of them.

uggg

Shontel Brown

Shit? Fudge? OP, you are obsessed with things that are dark in color for reasons that I doubt are healthy ones.

I know Symone works for President Biden now, but I will forever link her to Nina and Bernie...and never forgive any of them...

Nina Turner is not going to win this race.

She is tainted by her Berner madness as well as her own madness.

Yes, OP, you shouldn't make fun of her for the color of her skin.

R26 isn’t she retiring after 2022 anyway?

The deranged, live-action cartoon character called Nina Turner is at best the female equivalent of Matt Gaetz ... and just as ugly!

No. Just, no.

R26 is posting from Moldovia!

The Squad is a myth by the oligarchy to create the illusion of dissent.

If only she actually were as sane as she sounds in this article.

Is she a "Defund the police" progressive or a socialist progressive or both.

The second I can stomach even though I don't agree with their program. AOC always struck me as more of the second as does Bernie. Or am I naive?

Bernie supporters make two excellent points (1) the lack of help for the poor and working class on this country and (2) the mainstream medias complicity in both the American military industrial complex and in keeping the poor down by supporting corporate interests. The problem I have with them is that while they're correct that democrats do not do everything to address these issues they fail to acknowledge that Republicans will do absolutely nothing whatsoever ( as well as actively blocking any attempts at progress). Better to support an imperfect party than one made up of sociopathic monsters.

Edit : in this country not on

R43 Well said. If Bernie Bros and Bernie Broads spent half the time they spend blocking Democrats, instead obstructing and/or criticizing the GOP I might take them seriously. But alas they are hopeless.

Nina will never win. She may fuck around and cause Democrats to lose that seat to a Republican.

Related thread

Turner is toxic and nuts, lots of dirty money flowing into her campaign. She's trouble, a bit like AlwaysOnCamera on steroids. Black twitter is lobbying hard for Shontel Brown, who they think is much more qualified.

I guess this is the thread for right-wing Bernie-hating cunts.

It's always interesting to see that because DEMOCRATS don't agree with crazy ass INDEPENDENT Bernie and his far leftwing radical obstructionist nuts that all of a sudden we're the GOP? Carry your childish ass to a different thread if you want! Nobody gives a shit!

Bernie hasn’t even been all that radical these days.

And unlike Nina Turner and The Squad, Bernie doesn’t want to defund the police.

^I agree that "defund the police" is not a good look politically during a time of rising crime/gun violence, but the constant stream of unarmed people being killed by police was also a bit of a problem, no? Or do you think the police should be able to be as violent as they feel like being?

The far left are nothing but saboteurs. It was crystal clear what their agenda was when it was revealed that Russian dirty oligarch money sponsored not only Trump but also Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein.

Nina Turner's campaign manager is Tad Devine, the guy who lobbied with Paul Manafort for that Putin puppet in Ukraine and who also was Bernie's campaign manager in 2016. Connect the dots. The far left's job is to weaken democrats. They know that stupid slogans like 'defund the police' hurt democrats in 2020 and cost them seats, yet they still stick to them.

It's all about divide and conquer.

Ugh, this hideous bitch. I can't stand to look at or listen to her.

R53 Yes, you're very clever. Cite some evidence regarding the oligarchs' funding of Bernie. And what are the saboteurs sabotaging? Wall Street neoliberal Democrats as happy with extreme income inequality as any Republican? Democrats like Joe Manchin, perfectly happy with the Jim Crow filibuster? Democrats like Kyrsten Sinema, a near-idiot and apparently for sale to the highest bidder?

R253 I agree with EVERYTHING you just said!

Democrats are not neoliberal. If you cannot stand the Democrat parties why the fuck is Bernie (and all his minions) trying to poach democrats for your bullshit. Bernie and his ilk are not allies of Democrats. It is time they admit that and just go away! Go caucus with the GOP!

She has a right to run, but why not run as an independent socialist. That's what Bernie has done. OH.....I bet she wants DC money in her campaign.

My suggestion, go find your socialist friends for money and stay away from calling yourself a Democrat.

I've donated to Brown twice, getting ready to give again before August 3. Nina Turner is a ranting asshole who should never, ever get anywhere near the power she so desperately wants.

[quote]Cite some evidence regarding the oligarchs' funding of Bernie.

Oh please, it was in the Mueller report. Plenty of articles about it, Bernie himself admitted in an interview he gave at a Vermont radio station that the reason Russian money sponsored his campaign was to weaken Hillary. And then in 2020 he let them sponsor him again. Turner, just like Bernie gave numerous interviews on Russian state media RT. Right wing money flows into Turner's campaign from all sides.

I'm perpetually baffled that people can't understand the concept of divide and conquer, which the Romans in antiquity already used to weaken the enemy.

R59 It's not illegal to give an interview on RT. But let me try to follow your reasoning, if it can be called that. For many years Noam Chomsky has been warning that the agressive policies of the U.S. toward Russia (insisting that former Soviet republics actually bordering Russia be admitted to NATO, etc.) are increasing the chances of nuclear war to an alarming and unacceptable degree. He has said that the two most dangerous perils we face are climate change and nuclear war engendered by U.S.-Russia hostility. Does that make Chomsky some sort of dupe of the Russians, pursuing a divide-and-conquer strategy?

You're a brainwashed idiot R60!

Nobody in their right mind thinks Noam Chomsky is an authority on anything.

R61 = Rand Paul

What’s wrong with Chomsky, R61?

R61 Oh, and "nobody in their." Oh dear.

Buy yourself a tin foil hat and move to Moscow, R62!

R64 obviously is Russian!

R66 = Ann Coulter

You're way off base Dimitri @ R67, R62.

R68 I didn't mean that you're literally those two, just that you're some right-wing shit-for-brains.

I love that R60 thinks that there is anything even remotely comparable in raising legit concerns about the US having poor short-sighted strategies in dealing with a hostile and dangerous nation and being a useful stooge of said hostile and dangerous nation.

I'm obviously not a "some right-wing shit-for-brains" R69. If I were I wouldn't complain about Vermont Jesus working with Russia to sabotage Hillary Clinton's and Joe Biden's campaigns.

You're not very bright!

R71 Let me try to understand. Any challenger in a Democratic primary is necessarily a Russian stooge if he or she happens not to be the candidate you favor in that primary?

Dear R71, I know you're a bit slow, you don't have to constantly prove this to me by perpetually ignoring facts and reason.

Now bore off please!

*R72

R74 What does the asterisk mean? What does "bore off" mean?

I hate her.

R77 He can't spell and his name is Lobster, but still--seems credible!

Fugly bitch, inside and out. No thanks. Shontel has a record to run on and she's beautiful.

Yeah Black twitter hates Nina Turner. She's obviously toxic, obviously deliberately wants to sabotage democrats.

She is a classic division troll.

She also lobbied for companies (tobacco, polluters)and countries that are right wing (like Turkey). She swam in that lobby money before this run. She has her Russian masters to do their bidding. Tim Miller wrote about it yesterday. She’s dirty. As dirty has she likes to claim some Dems are but she’s worse. Projection.

Fuck her. She’s a Jill Stein.

Turner is beastly and ignorant. I hope Brown steals her wig and wipes the floor with it.

I like her. DL's slavish devotion to Hillary rears its ugly head again.

R81 Yes, you're a good Democrat. touting Tim Miller of Romney/Bush/RNC fame.

R84 Is he wrong? Thought so

R85 I'm sorry, wrong about what? That Bernie was wrong to challenge to challenge Hillary, who went on to lose an unlosable election to a demented reality-TV clown?

[quote]Rep. Marcia Fudge

Imagine if she married someone named Packer and hyphenated her name...

I'm trying to think of another Democrat who would have lost to Trump. No, can't think of one. Only Hillary could have managed to lose to Trump. But, hey, it was her TURN to be president, the actual people of the country be damned.

R86 You think Bernie would have won? Ahahahaahahahahahaha no.

Tim Miller exposed the fraud Turner. She’s a toxic bitch who is only here to divide and cause problems. That bowl of shit comment was her looking in a mirror.

R89 Okay, Shontel. Nina's still ahead of you in the polls, though, bitch.

R90 Oooooh. What wit!

[quote]who went on to lose an unlosable election to a demented reality-TV clown?

Thanks to the Berners that voted for Trump in PA, WI and MI.

How much more evidence do you need to understand that the far left is a willing pawn for Russia and for the far right?

And don't use that argument again that more Hillary Clinton voters voted for John McCain in 2008 than Berners voted for Trump in 2016. McCain would have never been a Russian stooge like Trump, who would have never defended Obama against the racism of his own voters.

Obama won so overwhelmingly on 2008 the thought some say Hillary voters voted for him is laughable. But even if true (it’s not), it didn’t affect the outcome like Berners voting for T or Stein.

R92 Same tired-ass stupid argument establishment Democrats have been using since Nader/Bush/Gore. Hey, if you want to go on backing policies that favor only the wealthy, then no one is under an obligation to vote for you, no matter who your opponent is.

R94 Talk about tired ass arguments! Who raised taxes on the rich that put tons of money into govt coffers only for the rich to completely go after Dems in midterms and demolish them. Who banned assault weapons? Who actually got health care reform? Who gave a life changing child tax credit this year that will reduce child poverty by half? Fuck you and your purists politics. Maybe if you VOTED in the midterms Dems would’ve been able to do more.

R91 But it's true, Shontel. And when Nina has won you'll slither off into whatever sewer you came out of, and we won't hear from you again.

Clinton raised taxes on the rich and banned assault weapons. The result? The Dems got wiped out in ‘94 midterms. And they knew it but did the right thing. Repeat this in ‘10 with health reform and tax raises on the rich. It sure didn’t look like progressive policy paid off but times have changed.

R96 Nina, you bald ho, you’re going to lose. Just watch. Daddy Putin can’t save you.

If R92 is alive in 2041, they will still be screeching about the Bernie voters who were reason #1 of the 99 Reasons She Lost The Election (And I Was A Terrible Candidate Ain't One)

R95 My God, you're incredibly stupid, aren't you? The life-saving tax credit wouldn't have happened in a million years if progressives hadn't gotten behind Bernie and put establishment Democrats on notice.

R99 Boris

R100 Bullshit. ahahahahahahahaaha that is classic Uncle Joe.

Bernie will go down in history as a Putin stooge, Hillary will be acknowledged as the rightful winner of the 2016 election. You're on your last hurrah R99

Hahahaha, Hillary 2016. Remember Robby Mook, the condescending techie schmuck who thought he had it all figured out? You don't hear much from the infallible Robby anymore, do you? And "the deplorables" (probably the stupidest move by a presidential candidate in U.S. political history)? And not bothering to go to Wisconsin, etc.? I mean, how do you lose to TRUMP--a clown, an idiot? Well, Hillary and her bright crew figured out how to do it.

The very existence of “The Squad” (which is a Fox creation) causes Democratic-oriented, Facebook-anchored boomers to say “Eh, too much for me. I’m voting for the unqualified douchebag republican in MY district”.

My parents live in a blue state where none of the squad members work. My dad used to be a reasonable Reagan republican and my mom voted for Clinton, Gore, and Obama. But they both got enthralled by Trump, and for the last couple cycles they cite “dumb millennial” AOC and “racist” Rashida/Ilhan as some of their prevailing reasons for voting for Plump. Sadly they subsist on a constant diet of Fox and stupid FB memes that cast their own (gay) kids’ generation as a bunch of Bolsheviks who want abortions for most and sex changes for the rest.

I don’t give much of a shit about Nina bowl-of-shit as an individual. She seems qualified, but my preference would be to not add fuel to the critical defund the race police talking points fire by augmenting the stupid Squad. I want dems to hold the middle as hard as they possibly can.

Nina is a Putin puppet.

President Biden woot woot

Chomsky was completely dazzled by Bernie in 2016, even knowing Bernie was a complete achievement-free mountebank he remained starry-eyed!

Ridiculous.

R107 Thanks, Borees.

R107 Mountebank. How odd. That word hasn't been used since the 19th century.

Nina Turner? For Congress? Fuck that ugly bitch! #NeverNina

She's ugly inside out and obviously the far right and Russia sponsors her. She's like the MTG and Matt Gaetz from the left, she will be totally disastrous in congress, she won't shut up and the press will report on her toxic shit 24/7.

R111 Why are you so invested in this? Do tell.

Why wouldn't anybody be invested in eliminating people like Turner, Gaetz, Tlaib, Cruz, Bernie, AOC, Taylor Greene. They are all dirty as hell!

May not make sense to you but to me it does!

Nina for Russia. Yep, rings true.

She has moderated her speeches lately due to President Biden’s amazing success and popularity. She seethes inside because she hates America. At least the Left knows who on “our side” is the enemy and act accordingly.

R104 you are cracking me up.

R115 defacto being cracked up. Ahahahaha

R116 it is one thing when “the most experienced candidate in history” loses to a reality TV buffoon, but r104 reminded me how damn arrogant they were while they were losing. I remember Michigan Democrats begging Clinton headquarters in Brooklyn for more campaigners. Mook refused, sending them to Iowa to “trick Trump” into competing in Iowa. That Robby Mook is a genius.

R117 Oh you do? Good for you. What does the little boy want? A cookie? Does the good boy want a cookie? Yes he does.

Meanwhile, President Biden woot woot

Didn't Defacto / Dejure vote for Hillary (begrudgingly) in 2016, but didn't vote for Biden in 2020?

I guess he, like AOC, can really pick a winner.

R118 President Biden would probably be serving his second term right now if Hillary hadn’t had the DNC squash all the competition in the 2016 primary and then completely blow the general by saying out loud too many times how deplorable she finds Americans.

R119 I voted for Trump in 2020 but I don’t think I’ve ever said how I voted in 2016. It is neither here nor there.

Fuck you R117, what part of Trump being a crook and a moron is it that Bernie Sanders voters didn't understand to vote for him in those 3 crucial swing states???

Sanders -> Trump voters…

WI: 51k

MI: 47k

PA: 116k

Trump win margin…

WI: 22k

MI: 10k

PA: 44k

R121 You back losers. Boohoo. You’re a division troll. Of course you won’t say you voted for Hillary because you backed the losing candidate in ‘16 and ‘20. Ahahahahahhhahahahahaha

LMFAO Defacto (banned three times here) voted for the losing candidates every time. What a loser!

R123 that would be interesting. After enduring the Hillary hive for the past 2 years on DL descending on me every time I post what a nasty woman she is, if I had actually voted for said nasty woman? That would be a plot twist. An unlikely one, but a plot twist.

I am glad she lost though. And I am fine with Trump losing. Biden is doing fine.

R124 I’ve only been banned twice so far. Troll 5814 and 5846.

I guess this means DeSantis is cursed now, having Defacto's endorsement, and won't win 2024. 0 for 3!

R127 well then I’ll just be the DL Susan Lucci won’t I?

You voted for Hillary you troll. What pleasure that gives me.

Boy oh boy our Nina was on CNN today and sure had a change of tune. She didn’t say a cross word about Dems or President Biden. She actually said, despite republicans obstructing things for now, we were on the right track and she defended President Biden.

She sure wants that seat. Don’t be fooled!

R128 Who is Susan Lucci?

The far left has been inviting actual Nazis to their rallies. I extremism begets more extremism, but these people are seriously crazy and dangerous.

The far Left is nowhere near as organized or large as the dangerous far Right which has members of Congress, News channels, radio and dozens and dozens of pundits. There just isn’t the infrastructure for the far Left to ever be anything but a small nuisance to Democrats.

R132 is just a dumbass provocateur. He's hardly ever read a book, doesn't know left from right nor ass from elbow.

You go, Tina Turner!

R133

The far left's influence is more insidious via non-governmental areas such as universities. When the President of the U. S. drops terms like "Latinx" in speeches, it's not a small nuisance. MSNBC has become the mirror image of Fox.

R14 Hillary wasn't an incumbent and there's no reason to think she deserved to run unopposed in a presidential primary. And she still won the primary. If she lost the Presidency it's on her.

R133 "When the President of the U.S. drops terms like 'Latinx' in speeches, it's not a small nuisance." It's the definition of a small nuisance.

"MSNBC has become the mirror image of Fox." That has to be one of the stupidest comments I've ever seen on DL. Comment on MSNBC might be governed by politically correct attitudes, but that is miles away from the dangerous propaganda Fox has spread regarding the election and coronavirus. You're not centrist or objective--you're nuts.

[quote] Breaking: Cornel West endorses Nina Turner for congress.

I've had issues with Tina Turner in the past, but calling her such names is obscene.

Especially as she tries to start a political career at her age and with her "health" problems.

[quote]The far left has been inviting actual Nazis to their rallies. I extremism begets more extremism, but these people are seriously crazy and dangerous.

R132's characterization of what happened to a Medicare For All event is a gross distortion, and demonstrates that he is affiliated with same group of far righters who staged the infiltration.

If there's one thing this thread demonstrates, it's that the right is scared shitless of progressives - so much so that they'll do anything, say anything to try to smear them.

Those of you trying to defend the far left, just stop.

It's not a matter of comparing the far left wackos with the wackos on the far right. That is a matter of apples and oranges.

The far left is EXTREMELY problematic because they give room for the far right. PERIOD. That is what makes the far left so despicable.

The rules have changed. The days of Democrats with their big tent, accepting every stray cat and dog and weighing all their interests the same are done. We no longer have that luxury as the GQP attempts to destroy the country.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Be realistic. Biden is never gonna give you everything you want, no POTUS will.

The Republican Party is clearly anti-American and can no longer be taken seriously.

Unite on the things we as Democrats all agree on and fuck the rest of it.

Nina is smeared in the corporate media because her brand of politics represents a huge threat to the oligarchy that controls both the Democrat and Republican parties.

r137 You'd think she'd have learned after she lost the first time to an upstart first term senator from Illinois nobody ever heard of. But we still have to hear from her and her fanboys five years later how awful we are to deign to think of any option other than crowning her Queen.

Nina is literally sponsored by dirty Russian oligarch money.

She's absolutely toxic and I'm sure a mental basket case. She's Bernie Sanders and AlwaysOnCamera on steroids, she will not shut up.

I hope she's eating that bowl of shit when she loses to Shontel Brown.

Well, R142, that's a fair summary of the point you far right paid trolls were trying to press with this thread, and all the socks. But it hasn't come off the way you intended. Too heavy handed; too much visceral hatred of your targets. It just doesn't communicate; it only reflects badly on you.

[quote] Nina is literally sponsored by dirty Russian oligarch money. She's absolutely toxic and I'm sure a mental basket case. She's Bernie Sanders and AlwaysOnCamera on steroids, she will not shut up.

Sorry, R145, but that's y'all - the far right trolls on DL. You own it. Your attempts to try to transfer the stigma of Russian sponsorship to the progressives is a failure. Just give it up.

Oh please R146, everybody knows both of Sanders campaigns were boosted by dirty Russian oligarch money, he even admitted it, as was Jill Stein's 2016 campaign. Bowl of shit Nina gives interviews regularly on Russian state media RT.

She's nuts and toxic.

R147, "everybody knows" doesn't wash here. Sounds like Trump's "people are saying." It's an admission you have nothing.

Similar to the far right operation described in the link at R141, the so-called "support" to Sanders and Stein was not intended to be helpful to them, but served instead to further divide and dissipate the Democratic vote, as well as poisoning the candidacies of Stein and Sanders for those who were aware of the Russian support. The technique was similar to how KKK Grand Dragon Will Quigg endorsed Hillary Clinton in March of 2016, knowing it could only harm her. A statement from the Russian sponsored Instagram account "Blacktivisit" was typical of the divisive approach: “Choose peace and vote for Jill Stein. Trust me, it’s not a wasted vote.” But of course it was, and they knew it, which is why they also attempted to siphon off support for Bernie Sanders, when it could only harm Clinton's chances. Sanders knew this, and wrote, “It has been clear to everyone (except Donald Trump) that Russia was deeply involved in the 2016 election and intends to be involved in 2018... It is the American people who should be deciding the political future of our country, not Mr. Putin and the Russian oligarchs.”

People know about these far right antics now - trolls like yourselves will not find success continuing with these old, debunked smears.

Meanwhile, you've exposed how terrified you are of Nina Turner's campaign, and those of other progressives.

Dear moron @ R148

Bernie Sanders knew the Russians used him to damage Hillary Clinton. He even admitted he knew, then in 2020 he again was informed that his campaign was boosted with dirty Russian oligarch money. He hated democrat for decades, just as much he loved everything Russia for decades. He was the PERFECT divide and conquer guy for Putin.

Bowl of Shit Nina has close ties to Stein.

If you imbecilic idiot can't put 2 and 2 together, that the far left is Russia's and the GOP's game plan to damage democrats, to help far right candidates win, you've been sleepwalking through the last 5-6 years.

Hillary knew that the GOP was grooming Tulski Garbage to be a chaos agent. Joe Biden knows that the Squads stupid messaging of 'defund the police' cost the democrat house seat in 2020.

R146 I am a REAL progressive and neither Bernie Putin Sanders nor Shitty-ass Nina Turncoat Turner will EVER represent me. You hateful traitors cannot accept the fact that Democrats continuously reject your bullshit! You are the reason Democrats lose with your intentional misinformation to a sliver of low information swing voters. ALL TRUE progressive democrats know you're full of shit.

R150 Please tell us which "progressive" politicians represent your viewpoint.

By the way, the only things people can come up with to slam Nina Turner for are krazy knspiracy theories, because she actually believes governments exist to make life better for people. Nancy Pelosi actually suggested the other day that we can't cancel student loan debt because some people might not have kids going to college, and why should they have to pay for other people's kids? She sounded exactly like a Republican. By the same token, I guess we shouldn't pay for public schools because not everyone's kids go to them, or we shouldn't pay for roads or bridges because some people don't drive. Nina Turner isn't "far right". In many European countries, she'd be considered a centrist. The ideas of the so-called far-right progressives are basically FDR-Truman-era Democratic Party principles.

Devastating new anti-Turner ad:

R105 Sorry, I don't think you can ask whole classes of people not to exist or not to have their interests represented just because your parents or people like them might vote either way in elections. Better to explain to them how incredibly stupid and self-defeating it is to vote Republican, ever.

All the more reason to take down Nina Turner. The last thing we need is to increase The Squad’s strength and power.

^Fuck you, you right-wing provocateur.

[quote][R107] Mountebank. How odd. That word hasn't been used since the 19th century.

mountebank

noun- a person who deceives others, especially in order to trick them out of their money; a charlatan.

It's precisely the word and sentiment I intended, why shouldn't I use it? I could be more like you and stick to a hundred words, or fewer!

When someone is viewed by a large percentage of DEMOCRATS as "controversial" (against a completely lawless, entitled, selfish, greedy Anti-American Republican party) that says all you need to know. Her presence in ANY election is doing more harm than good!

If Nina "piece of shit" Turner really cared about anything other than her ego, she'd get out of the way and let Democrats save America.

Toxic Turner

R153 that’s a damn good ad. They’re terrified of her to come up with a hit job like that.

Looks like Nina has this one in the bag, unfortunately.

Miracles can happen, say your prayers.

Fingers crossed.

Praying hard. We don't need both parties COMPLETELY fucked!

Please pray harder, R165

Lest she fuck this up for all of us.

YES!! Thank God!

[QUOTE] "I am going to work hard to ensure that something like this never happens to a progressive candidate again," she said. "We didn’t lose this race — the evil money manipulated and maligned this election."

In other words: the Jews did this. Typical.

The ignorant clown lost!!!! Hallelujah!

EAT SHIT NINA TURNER

Who’s the bowl of shit now?

She lost by a wide margin. It's pathetic she's trying to rationalize her loss on the back of funding. As a Bernie type she would have endorsed policies that were more on the side of regular people than those of most candidates. But when you package yourself as a joyless, judging disruptor... people aren't drawn to that.

It’s not the funding so much as where the funding came from. Everybody can see what Nina truly means.

[QUOTE] “I am going to work hard to ensure that something like this doesn’t happen to another progressive candidate again,” Turner vowed in her concession speech. “We didn’t lose this race, evil money manipulated and maligned this election.”

[QUOTE]By contrast, Brown thanked “my Jewish brothers and sisters” for their support in her victory remarks.

She would have been AOC and Bernie Sanders on steroids, she would have been the Matt Geatz and Taylor Green of the far left. So incredibly happy she lost!

Enjoy eating that bowl of shit Nina!

Nina's a liar. Money wasn't the reason she got crushed. She had all Bernie's Russian donors.

After 4 years of complete Bullshit from the GQP, Democrats are just tired. No more toxic "characters." It's time to get some shit done.

I really don't know what distinguishes the far left and far right anymore.

Turner is probably the most toxic candidate the far left has produced. Several democratic congress members like Ted Lieu, Katie Porter actually campaigned for her. Keith Ellison, who I never liked did endorse her.

Next step for democrats should be to kick out the squad, by running good candidates against them. Use this momentum cleaning up the party from these saboteurs.

Turner got her butt kicked in the primary. Guess the leftists will need to try a new strategy. They are becoming like the crazy right-wingers that have taken over the Republican party. Thank goodness the Democrats want a centrist, not a card-carrying socialist.

[QUOTE] I really don't know what distinguishes the far left and far right anymore.

Come on, R177. I don’t like them either but at least they’re not out there telling folks not to get vaccinated. The list of differences between them grows longer everyday.

Didn't Turner garner the most in donations?

R179 R177 is a reactionary idiot.

I don’t think he’s an idiot, R181. He made some good points in there, and he did give me some new info regarding the names of people who (surprisingly) endorsed her like Ted Lieu.

R177 I see your point. The far left is so horrible in their messaging that it makes me question what their motives are! "Defund the police?" Really? Who came up with that crock of shit?

They also often fight Democrats harder than the GQP and are often racist and misogynist. Most importantly, the far left hasn't shown much propensity for advocating the core of the Democratic Party - equality for all people!

They share a lot of similarities with the GQP. Is it really worth trying to distinguish them? It doesn't sound like it's worth it to me. Time to purge the party of those nutcases who only want to grandstand and wage purity tests. Time to get some shit done!

Looks like Nina wasn’t managing her finances well. Leftists run campaigns just as horribly as they govern.

[QUOTE] Former Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner (D) has been blaming an influx of big money for her defeat in a special congressional primary on Aug. 3.

[QUOTE]But Turner’s analysis ― and the self-pity that it has enabled her left-wing supporters to embrace ― is over-simplistic.

[QUOTE]Turner’s campaign mismanaged its budget, spending too much on consultants, and other non-essential expenses, while neglecting to set aside enough cash to stay on the TV airwaves once it began advertising.

[QUOTE]The campaign also came up short strategically, failing to preempt, and later, adequately respond to the inevitable attacks on Turner’s history of conflict with key figures in the Democratic Party.

[QUOTE]“It was a poorly run campaign that wants to blame other shit for its loss,” said a Democratic consultant who has worked on recent, winning progressive campaigns and requested anonymity for professional reasons.

R184 You're the most Republican Democrat I've ever come across.

I’m a Biden Democrat, R185. Just like the vast majority of Democrats.

R185, I'm so sick of the far left accusing Democrats of being GQP for having a well-messaged, well-run and well-financed campaign.

And cut the purity bullshit. It takes money to run a campaign. Everyone who wins does it! Being poor shouldn't be a bar to public service. That sounds pretty Republican to me!

The Democratic party has never been defined by a bunch of 20 year old rich kids seeking a free college education.

It's time for the attempted hostile takeover of the party to end and the far left let Democrats help people. Republicans certainly aren't.

^How are you feeling as a Biden Democrat about the debacle in Afghanistan? Is that making you feel that all excellence and wisdom lives on your side of the party?

The only debacle in Afghanistan are the men who stood aside and let the Taliban take over their country without a fight. President Biden made some grave miscalculations on the belief that the Afghan army, various militias and civilian men in general might put up more resistance, he was wrong, and he accepted responsibility for that. Nevertheless, he will go down in history as the President who finally got us out of Afghanistan where his three predecessors failed. So I’m feeling pretty damn good about it, R188.

Very well said R189. I cosign on everything you just said 100%! It is well past time to end that shitstorm and bring our people home!

I don't even need to respond to you R188.

R189 I give Biden a pass in that he knew we should never have been in there in the first place. But U.S. civilian and military officials have been talking complete rot for a decade about the capacity of the non-Taliban Afghanis to govern the country. Biden should have known this and planned the exit accordingly. I just hope it doesn't give the Trumpies enough of an opening to weasel back into power.

Afghanistan was always gonna be a messy exit whenever and however it happened.

Their culture is different. They are willing to die for what they believe is a noble cause.

Americans used to be willing to die for a noble cause but instead, Americans are willing to die for: (1) the right to freely spread covid; (2) the right to spread racism; (3) the right to suppress votes; and the right to worship and enable an anti-Democratic Felonious Orange Toad!

R191, I think that great risk has been created. The old man has fucked up the competence argument.

Remember, this is an election decided by the American people. They like a strong man. That's not Joe Biden. He's now an old man, shouting at people.
