....as a Democrat and not as a People's Party candidate:
"We don't have the ballot line yet....but what we want her to do, is we want her, you know, and we shared this with her, um, is we want her to get into office..."
In other words, to borrow a phrase, "By any means necessary".

(58,785 posts)anti-Democratic leftists seeking to replace Democrats in power ( ) need to do it by instead infiltrating the Democratic Party -- and campaigning as Democrats to get Democrats to vote for them.
This is the usual delusion that a wiser fringe can and should take over from 90 million stupid mainstream voters, but at least she's got it right that the power to make anything happen lies in the Democratic Party.

(15,325 posts)That's about as "corporate" and "establishment" and, in her words, "corrupt" as it gets. Why not report on what she actually does and not what she says?

"Of course, Nina Turner talks a big game about the environment/Green New Deal and against the lobbyists who buy politicians.
But by working with Mercury she's working with Corporate Lobbyists who blocked the Climate Debate at the DNC last August."
Here are the Corporate Lobbyists who blicked the Climate Debate at the DNC last August:

Who's agenda is Turner really supporting, behind all the media drama?

(42,862 posts)That guy who looks like Will Wheaton seems quite pleased with himself... he thinks he's got it all figured out. Mass defections is their savior. They hope to destroy the Democratic party. They think the Democratic party is corrupt.
What clowns.

What I took out of that video is that they expect that after she gets elected (IF she wins the nomination), she'll defect:
Brana: I think so. I think if-if this movement, and the progressive movement, um, um, uh, uh, demands it of her and says that you know 'we want this to happen' I think that she would. Um, I think that she'll have to see a lot of support for it. Um, but! I think that she, uh, she absolutely would. And I think that she would help encourage, uh, other progressives to do it with her.
So she's using the Democratic Party to give the People's Party a foot in the door, and presumably the plan is for her to switch and try to bring other "progressives" with her.
Nothing like being blatantly obvious about their ulterior motives.

That's how I'm reading that statement.
