I'm not sure I'd want to hear a victory speech. I'm sure the Declaration of Independence would sound like an invitation to afternoon tea by comparison. No wonder Nina Turner liked her.

It was not a concession. We are the party of peaceful transfer of power and this statement did not give me a good feeling

She initially had support from the teachers union, but after she endorsed charters she lost it

I didn't understand her politics

In my opinion, if someone is really interested in helping people, even if a candidate doesn't win or get credit they'd offer to work with the government to make those ideas she mentioned happen, the Community Land Trusts, LIFE camps, and survivor-based restorative justice.
