1. Great! Turner and her vile comment about Biden..she would be nothing but trouble

[comradebillyboy]

3. Her comments on Biden were only the tip of

the iceberg.

[Cha]

11. Exactly!

[Trueblue1968]

24. not only that vile action but Turmer lied her butt off about Hillary Clinton in 2016 whenever possib

[hlthe2b]

2. I'm amused at how this must rankle the hell out of Turner. Go, Shontel Brown. We need a Democrat.

[Budi]

4. She's already got a fundraising mass email out from Hillary's endorsement of Shontel

Its the usual 6 paragrahs long & I actually LOL'd when I read thru it.
Think it used the word 'Establishment' in every 3rd sentence

So this CBC announcement must have really frayed the edges.

5. It's hilarious. Fav sentence: "The Democratic establishment will do anything to stop her."

Status quo-Wall Street-1%-corporate interests and HILLARY CLINTON !!!!! "The Democratic Party will do everything it can to stop us from electing Nina ... ."

This is serious business. It is all very dramatic and frightening! Remember, they will stop at nothing. NOTHING.
Better RUSH grassroots money "at this critical time" before the status quo establishment HILLARY CLINTON stops them from fighting for the working class! Nina knows how diabolically evil the Democratic Party is -- the DNC "tried to seduce us with donuts and water." See! They will do ANYTHING to stop her.

[George II]

7. If supporting the Democratic Party for 40+ years and NOT...

... calling my President a bowl of shit makes me an Establishment Democrat, I'll gladly accept that "insult".

[betsuni]

8. Their whole thing is that only they fight for the people, working-class, working people.

They depend on their supporters not knowing anything.

Brown:"Secretary Clinton has been a champion for working families for her entire career, and I am incredibly honored to receive her endorsement."

But all they have to do is repeat the key words status quo-establishment-corporate Democrats-Wall Street-HILLARY CLINTON and they all start barking and drooling. It's embarrassing.

[Cha]

21. Shontel Brown knows her history &

uses it to support The Democratic Party!

I love her!💙

[Cha]

18. lol.. what does she have if not for

buzzwords.. "ESTABLISHMENT" "STATUS QUO" "WALL STREET" AGAINST the Democratic Party?

Saying Voting for Biden was like eating shit".. Voting 3rd party.. and she has the nerve to run as a Dem?!

Bernie Sanders’ Campaign Co-Chair Nina Turner Compares Voting For Biden To Eating ‘S**t’

22. I can't imagine why Democratic voters would vote for someone so publicly and consistently

against the party she's now running as a member of. I wonder if they are aware of her views.

Her latest tweet: I'm not taking any bad PAC or lobbyist money, only nice grassroots I SWEAR. Nothing to see here, do not look into this. I am also totally "100% focused on working people" and "While the establishment is doing everything they can to stop our movement, we will continue elevating the issues."

When it's not about the issues (because Democratic issues are helping the working/middle classes of course), make it about slogans and buzzwords and enemies out to get you!

[Cha]

23. Especially when our Majority is

so slim.. We need all hands on Deck against the Fascists!

We have enough in it just for themselves dragging on the Democratic Party.. that is on the Front Lines Fighting those who want to Overthrow the Election!

[Cha]

12. Hey Turner! Pres Joe Biden

is Our ESTABLISHED President!

We're WINNERS & DOING Excellently!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. I am not a fan of the Just Us Democrats

I got a Just Us Dem email attacking Hillary and establishment members of the Democratic Party

I trust the CBC

[Cha]

19. Pres Joe Biden & VP Kamala Harris are WINNERS!

That crap didn't work with them.. but they're still trying it.

Stale.

DBC!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

13. And she had her biggest haul of the year.

All small dollar donations, btw.

[Budi]

14. Well sure. It costs a lot to hire a friend's Polling Group & her own PR Firm.

Nina hired a polling Group for $800,000 to run a poll showing her in the lead
The polling group she hired is Tulchin Group. Tulchin formed his polling group after he worked for Bernie's Pres campaign.
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=15533377

She also owns her own PR Group, Amare Public Affairs, which is under the umbrella support of Mercury Public Affairs, which is a high dollar Global Corporation. (Wonder how much Mercury Public Affairs. Pays in US taxes each year) 🙄

She also has 4 Private Super Pacs funding her campaign outside of local Ohio-11. (Not exactly a grassroots candidate)

#💙ShontelBrownOH-11

[TexasTowelie]

15. Yet some people fall for the fallacy

that financial contributions equals votes.

[Budi]

16. Here from Open Secrets are the Corporations who hired Mercury Lobby Firm

I believe Mercury is the Lobby Firm Nina was going to work for before she decided to run for OH-11
Mercury is the Global Lobbying Corporation supporting Turner's own Amare PR Firm.

(I'd say she's done quite well for herself off those "small grassroots donors"!!)

Just look at these Global Corporations! 3 Pages of Corporations listed & what they paid Mercury for lobbying on their behalf & what they represent.

Ya think as a US Rep Turner may be beholding to Mercury for all their PR support?

Wonder what Mercury or Nina's own Amare pay in Corp taxes ?

OPEN SECRETS:

https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/firms/summary?id=D000022461

Corporate Corporate Corporate !
Think Amare or Mercury is listed on Wall Street?

[Cha]

20. Oh yeah.. we've been there.. DONE that!

to the

[George II]

26. Yeah. Anybody ever dig into those "small donations"?

Dozens of "small donations" from the same people.

There was one person recently who donated more than 800 times to a candidate that boasted of "small donations" - her aggregate was the maximum $2800, the same amount that "corporate Democrats" get in a one-time donation.

"But they were smaaaaall donations, and LOTS of them!"

[George II]

27. Comparative "Itemized" and "Unitemized" Percentages:

Shontel Brown - 80% Itemized, 20% Unitemized
Turner - 34% Itemized, 66% Unitemized

In other words, we know where 80% of Brown's contributions came from, only 34% of Turner's.

Hmmmm.

34. You know this how?

Link?

[sheshe2]

36. Mod Squad.

That sure answers the question when you don't have one.

PS. Loved that show.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

38. I want an actual member of the Democratic Party to be the nominee

Shontel supported both of the last two nominees of the party and did not help to elect TFG

[George II]

40. Turner's first preference was to run on the People's Party line, but they forgot to complete....

....the proper paperwork to be registered in Ohio.

So, as they put it, "The People’s Party isn’t on the ballot in Ohio yet so she will have to run as a Democrat." That should make a lot of OH-11 Democrats happy, don't you think?

https://peoplesparty.org/nina-turner-congress/

[LetMyPeopleVote]

43. Turner helped to elect TFG in 2016 and attacked Joe Biden in the last election

I like Democratic candidates who are actual members of the Democratic Party and who support the party's candidates

30. Mahalo, oasis!

[oasis]

32. As you know, Shontel has the endorsement of Hillary Clinton.

HRC treasures Democrats who are loyal to the Party.

Aloha and mahalo to you Cha.

[Cha]

37. Yes, I just found out on this

thread!

I hope Marcia Fudge is able to Endorse Shontel at some Crucial point!

You're Welcome! , oasis! Aloha!

[murielm99]

29. K&R!

[JustAnotherGen]

31. Wonderful!

Go Ms. Brown!

[sheshe2]

33. Shontel supports Democrats.

Nina, by her own words does not. She does herself no favors by likening 'voting' for Joe to eating a bowl of shit. He is pretty popular among Dems 5 months in office.

I can't vote for Shontel, yet I can support her. She is what Ohio needs.

Go girl...

[Cha]

39. Keeping it Kicked for Shontel!
