Is Superdelegate/DNC Member SenatorNinaTurner trying to start a third party?

[lapucelle]

For far too long we have watched both corporate-funded political parties pillage and devastate our country, our communities, and our families.

Now it is time for us to ask: What kind of world do we want to build from the ashes of this pandemic and economic depression?

One week after the Democratic and Republican national conventions, people from all walks of life will come together to discuss the state of the nation and plans to form a major new political party in America. A party free of corporate money and influence. A people’s party.

Why didn't Superdelegate SenatorNinaTurner© do the ethical thing and resign her position at the DNC back in April?

[hlthe2b]

1. Well, if I were to be absolutely honest, it would be a world where we'd never again hear from Turner

I won't wish her ill or harm, but just go the F>>k away~!

[Maru Kitteh]

26. I may not wish her harm, but I certainly DO wish her ill.

And the harm part? Let's just say it wouldn't bother me very much either if it did happen.

If they want to do a "two halves" collage, it should be one of Turner and Putin.

[2naSalit]

2. Why is she a super delegate?

I was hoping she shriveled up and blew away in a derecho.

[lapucelle]

3. She's an elected member of the DNC.

She was elected in 2015 and serves a 5 year term.

She was a superdelegate in 2016 as well.

[2naSalit]

6. Ugh! Well, maybe this will be her last rodeo. ...nt

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Wished it would happen,

but,as long as the media works the Both-sider-ism crap. She and a couple others will always have a platform.

[PatSeg]

4. Equating Biden to Trump is obscene

[lapucelle]

7. It seems to be out of Putin's playbook from the 2016 general election.

Forewarned is forearmed.

[PatSeg]

10. It sure did remind me of four years ago

She really needs a different career choice.

[TeamPooka]

25. I'm sick of the false equivalence and delusions these people have

[PatSeg]

39. I can't begin to understand

what they want. I'm not sure there are even any goals, just activity and noise.

[The Magistrate]

5. 'DemExit' Is A Totally Trump Production, Ma'am

Turner and her ilk this year aren't just objectively the left auxiliary of the christo-fascist right, they are actually and knowingly now the left auxiliary of the christo-fascist right.

[2naSalit]

8. +1

[lapucelle]

11. Are they useful idiots or knowing accomplices? N/T

[crickets]

17. Good question. nt

[Demsrule86]

40. knowing accomplices.

[brush]

9. Pls, Nina, start one already. Many of us have been saying this...

to you and your ilk for years now.

[Budi]

21. About time...gtfo of our Democratic Party.

Nina Turner calling Trump & Biden two halves of one "bowl of shit".. disqualifies her from ever having a voice in our Party.

You know who she sounds like..?

Yup.

[brush]

27. Yep. The one always attacking "the Democratic Party establishment."

[Budi]

30. Yup. Their trigger code words. Establishment, Wall Street, millionares, billionares

& the dreaded, 'Democrats'.

Coded trigger words.

[brush]

36. And you'd think he'd be their keynote speaker, but I think...

even he knows where his bread is buttered—in a safe seat safely ensconced and caucusing with Dems while talking the talk—but not actually risking going out and walking the third party walk.

[Budi]

38. He ain't touching that...yet

Toxic poison

Who wants to belong to a fringe hate group !
Yikes...

[Cha]

52. "Status Quo"!!!!

[Budi]

53. Oh yes. The infamous, 'Status Quo! '

The base needed to know nothing more about a candidate other than those coded trigger words.

It was like putting those green icky stickers on something to protect a toddler.

Ok for babies but as adults, the free thinking mind went missing. Cults are that way.

[Voltaire2]

12. no.

[lapucelle]

14. So this isn't an attempt to start a third party? N/T

[Hav]

37. No need to start one

when she just joins an existing third party (again). Your major point stands, of course. She's a super delegate whose primary focus is to persuade as many people as possible to not vote for Democrats.

[lapucelle]

47. According to their website, it will be a new party.

Of course, although there is no telling what Superdelegate SenatorNinaTurner© will do during the general election season, I'll bet dollars to donuts that it will not be to elect the Democratic ticket.

Why not join the Green Party or another existing party?

A party’s name is its first impression and identity. It can lead people to see themselves reflected in the party and invite them to learn more, or it can convey that it is not for them. For an independent party to become a major party, people from all walks of life must be able to see themselves belonging to it from the start. That takes a party name and character that encompasses and invites everyone. “The People’s Party” is a statement in itself, that a political party must belong to the people, and that all are welcome. It also leads people to ask, “Who do the major parties belong to?”

The Green Party’s name unfortunately leads many to view it as a niche environmental party that sidelines other pressing issues, like the cost of health care, housing and education. That means that fewer people identify with it and take the time to learn more. Legally it cannot change its name without starting the party over.

The Green Party also has to start over with ballot access petition collection in most states every four years. It’s another reason that we might as well start over with a fresh and energetic new party.

snip========================================================

MPP’s mission is different from existing independent parties. We’re building a coalition of community organizations, student groups, unions, progressive groups, and others that can unite for a major new party. Polls consistently show that a majority of Americans want a major new party but are not enthused by existing independent parties.

34. No? How about this?

https://peoplesparty.org/the-peoples-convention/

SEN. NINA TURNER AND DR. CORNEL WEST TO KEYNOTE THE PEOPLE’S CONVENTION

On Sunday, August 30, from 4-6 pm EST, thousands of Americans from all walks of life will gather to discuss the state of the nation at The People’s Convention. At the conclusion, participants will vote on forming a major new political party free of corporate money and influence.

[Captain Zero]

51. we could all attend on-line and then vote to NOT form a new party this year.

Just sayin'

[Demsrule86]

41. Yes it is. She straight out says it.

[BannonsLiver]

15. Impotent rage.

[Budi]

16. When all you got to build celebrity is HATE, then that's who you'll attract.

Great Nina, gather all your 'Democratic' HATERS into one group of filthy vile memes, pics & screeching replies.

Better for us all as we carefully piece together a better America.

Call yourself the PPParty or whatever you like, Nina Turner, the time has come to stop using the D behind your name & the benefits it has granted you.

Add another rage filled hate group to the fringe of society.

I'm surprised she didn't call it the NinaTurner Party...

GTFO.of our Democratic Party ..

[NurseJackie]

18. How long does she get to call herself "Senator Nina Turner"?? At most, it should be "STATE Senator"

How long does she get to call herself "Senator Nina Turner"?? At most, it should be "STATE Senator" or "Ohio State Senator".

In my opinion her continued use of "Sen. Nina Turner" is deceptive puffery.

I hate her as much as I hate Cornel West, Michael Moore and Susan Sarandon.

[Budi]

19. Another fringe Hate group. Kock yourself out Nina!

Cornel, Sarandon, Krystal Ball, ....

To think Nina & Cornel were once on the board of the Sandes Institute. Bet they'd like to distance those 2 asap.

Vere off & hate away, losers.

[lapucelle]

20. There's something basicaly dishonest about a party "insider" with a superdelegate vote

who signs on to crap like this.



https://peoplesparty.org/the-case-for-a-peoples-party/#1548710141889-02baaf4c-4ed9

[Budi]

24. "Their leaders are chosen by their own corrupt peers"...

And who chose Nina & Cornel?

.."their own corrupt peers"..

Good lord...🙄

[George II]

49. The only time she won was after she was appointed to an empty seat, then "re"-elected as incumbent.

[Gothmog]

22. Arggh

Link to tweet

[lapucelle]

23. Real star power!!!

[Budi]

28. I'm just glad the anti-Democratic haters will finally have somplace else to go

..besides grifting off the D's.

Bring them all home, Nina! Thanks for finally clearing the fringe hate-group from the D Party.
You can now yell & post mean things on social media from the outside.

We don't need, nor want you.

[Maru Kitteh]

29. Looks like the "we need a paycheck" party to me.

[NurseJackie]

43. Nina Turner is pathetic... and so is anyone and any group that she is associated with.

And I'll just leave it at that, for obvious reasons.

[George II]

31. She has announced that she, Cornell West, Jimmy Dore and Ryan Knight are going to hold....

...a "People's Convention" on August 30. One of the items on their agenda is to conduct a vote about starting a new party, the "People's Party".

Detroit, MI — One week after the Democratic and Republican national conventions, Bernie 2020 National Co-Chair Sen. Nina Turner and Bernie 2020 surrogate Dr. Cornel West will join the Movement for a People’s Party to headline The People’s Convention.

At the conclusion, participants will vote on forming a major new political party free of corporate money and influence.

https://peoplesparty.org/the-peoples-convention/

She and anyone else involved in this should be stripped of their DNC membership and Super Delegate status (she is both a DNC member and Super Delegate as of now)

[denem]

33. More like the Peepholes Party

of impotent outsiders.

[George II]

35. Bazinga!

[NurseJackie]

44. They're all living in a fantasy land.

[George II]

45. Makes me think of Skittles:

[NurseJackie]

46. Oh dear!

That giraffe is funny!

[George II]

32. Here's a direct quote from her in a recent Atlantic interview, regarding voting in November...

....and the choice between trump and Biden:

“It’s like saying to somebody, ‘You have a bowl of s–t in front of you, and all you’ve got to do is eat half of it instead of the whole thing.’ It’s still s–t’, ”

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/07/how-trump-could-win-reelection/612205/

[NurseJackie]

48. Nina Turner is a horrible woman. Worse than Sarandon.

I don't know what Bernie saw in her. She is obviously doing her level best to kneecap Biden, and help Trump. What a despicable thing to do! Treacherous. Evil.

[octoberlib]

42. She compared Biden to a bowl of shit. No surprise.

[George II]

50. Not even that, but a half a bowl.
