New head of Our Revolution Nina Turner on Unity with DEMS!!

[BainsBane]

69. That Sanders put Turner in charge of Our Revolution

is unfortunate, and it sheds light on why Democrats have been thrown out of at least one Our Revolution meeting. Trump voters are welcome, but people who supported Bernie in the primary but voted for Clinton in the GE are not, at least in one Wisconsin location. That incident now makes more sense in light of Turners appointment to head Our Revolution. It does not appear that the membership voted on the leadership position. Unlike head of the DNC, she was appointed.

Turner has repeatedly said the Democrats are worse than the GOP in terms of corporate interests. She said that just days after the GOP House passed a bill deregulating banking. Yet Turner isn't interested in what the GOP is doing to redistribute income to the wealthy. Her singular focus is lambasting Democrats.

Anyone who believes the GOP is better than the Democratic Party is not my ally or an ally of the poor and vulnerable whose lives are being worsened dramatically by this administration and congress. Anyone who works to weaken the Democratic Party serves the interests of the wealthy, whether they realize it or not. That posture also reveals a complete disregard for the lives of those suffering under Trump. The people who refused to vote for Clinton in the GE helped cause that suffering. They knowingly chose to impose a white supremacist, sexual predator in the White House, someone who is doing everything in his power to kill, deport, and imprison as many vulnerable Americans as possible.

The post below talking about how a wealthy woman in Hawaii was going on about how the two parties are both corrupt and she wouldn't vote Democrat are examples of precisely the kind of privilege and utter disregard for the well being of others that characterizes the Stein-third-party-Trump voters. There is nothing that can justify that kind of complete disregard for human rights and human lives. When people decide their egos are more important than the lives of thousands of Americans, they relinquish any high ground. Narcissism and entitlement are not morality.

Also, when we see so much focus on controlling the Democratic Party and little to none on what is actually being done by those governing the nation, it's clear that what we are seeing is a power grab. The citizens who suffer are of course no more relevant to such people than they were in November when they refused to vote for the Democrat. I submit that Turner and others who like the GOP so much better than Democrats focus on that party they prefer.

Why you think that excerpt in any way makes her look good, I can't begin to imagine. Trump and Dow Chemical are, I'm sure, delighted with Turner. I can't understand why anyone else would be.
