No fake progressivism zone
Archiv: Nina Turner
The House just voted to approve an $840 billion military spending bill. Not one person asked how we’d pay for it.
Nina’s unfortunate loss is further proof that working with the Democrats is a dead end road for folks seeking to challenge the status quo. Democrats will spend millions of dollars (at a time like this!) and pull out all the stops to undermine candidates fighting for the people.
Bernie Sanders kickoff rally in Brooklyn – Nina Turner’s great speech!

Nina Turner gave another unbelievable emotional speech for Bernie Sanders! Preach on!
JUST IN: Nina Turner Vows To Continue Progressive Journey After Losing Ohio Congressional Primary
Nina Turner gives a passionate election night speech following her loss in the special Congressional primary in Ohio’s 11th District.
Thank you @ninaturner for your fearlessness and your unrelenting commitment to truth telling. These are the qualities that make you powerful and there is no super pac that can change that.
We knew this would be an uphill battle from the moment we started this campaign. While we didn’t cross the river, we inspired thousands to dream bigger and expect more. We couldn’t overcome the influence of dark money, but we left our mark on OH11 and this nation.
Nina lost for a very simple reason. In the closing stretch THIS happened: „Democratic Majority for Israel, a hybrid PAC/super PAC that has spent $1.2 million on ads supporting Brown and opposing Turner“ – & the ads viciously lied about her. The lies stuck
Turner Vs. Brown: A Showdown Between Progressive And Establishment Dems
The special election in Ohio featuring candidates Nina Turner and Shontel Brown has become a reportedly „acrimonious and bitter“ battle between the progressive and establishment wings of the Democratic party, as these factions go all out to support their preferred candidate. Journalists Eugene Robinson and Jeremy W. Peters join The ReidOut with their analysis.
There’s a fight for the future of the Democratic Party happening in Ohio
South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, the third-ranking Democrat in the House, told CNN recently that Biden needed all the allies he could get in the House, a clear shot at Turner’s past negative comments about the 46th President.
Third Way, a centrist Democratic group, is spending $500,000 on a series of ads driving that same message.
When the vast majority of the Dem Party abandoned Ilhan Omar on the most against the most vicious vile right-wing attacks, @ninaturner stood up #NinaSpeaksForMe then and now

America is not dying because of one corrupt president. It’s dying because our entire system is corrupt. We live in an oligarchy where both major parties serve the ruling class. It is time to build a party that serves the working class. #PeoplesConvention

New documentary explores ‚Bernie Blackout,‘ Nina Turner reacts
Former National Co-Chair of the Sanders campaign, Nina Turner, discusses the new VICE documentary, ‚Bernie Blackout.‘
There are only two days until the Iowa Caucus! If we keep up the hard work we can win this together. Join us live in Cedar Rapids for our caucus concert and rally featuring @vampireweekend !
Epic crowd tonight in Cedar Rapids for @BernieSanders and @vampireweekend .
Together, we can win this election and transform the country. Watch our first Caucus Concert featuring @boniver , live in Clive, Iowa!
Sanders Campaign Co-Chair After Debate: 30 Years Ago, Warren Was A Republican
Warren was indeed a registered Republican until the mid-1990s. She said her research as a legal scholar into the root causes of household bankruptcy reshaped her worldview. As a Democrat, she defeated Republican Sen. Scott Brown in 2012 in her first run for office.
As 2020 Race Heats Up Ahead of Primaries and Caucuses, Sanders Surrogate Argues Biden ‚Has Repeatedly Betrayed Black Voters‘
In an op-ed for The State—a newspaper based in South Carolina, which will hold the nation’s fourth nominating contest on Feb. 29—Sanders 2020 co-chair Nina Turner, an African American woman, wrote:
Will our community side with former Vice President Joe Biden, who has repeatedly betrayed black voters to side with Republican lawmakers and undermine our progress? Or will we stand with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and a movement that has been fighting for racial and economic justice since the civil rights era?
Sanders surges ahead of Iowa caucuses
“No other candidate has as durable a base as we do,” said Nina Turner, the former Ohio state senator who has been one of Sanders’s most high-profile surrogates since 2015.
“So now he has an energized base and we’re starting to see his crossover appeal. We can enumerate that too, with 4 million donations and hundreds of thousands of volunteers. We have the receipts and we have the moral clarity from a senator who has stood on the right side of justice for over 40 years, whether it’s been popular or not.”
Our movement is only growing. We are leading with love and asking for everyone’s participation. Come see for yourself. @KillerMike @iPhilSomething and I will be in North and South Carolina this weekend. Truth and justice baby! #Bernie2020
.@ninaturner Happy birthday, my friend!
I support people like Nina Turner & Tulsi Gabbard because they fight for the issues that matter & will never hesitate to fight for your rights even if you are working against them #ListenToNina #DraftuTlsi #TeamTulsi

Behind The Podium with Nina Turner
(04.09.2019)
Crowds come out in force for Bernie Sanders’ comeback rally in Queens
Sanders supporters who were interviewed emphasized — as did filmmaker Michael Moore and Sanders campaign co-chair Nina Turner, who took the stage before Sanders — that it was Sanders who transformed Democratic politics by drawing masses of voters to the progressive agenda in 2016, when it initially was written off.
“When I say there is no one like Bernard Sanders, I mean that,” Turner said. “We’ve got some people in the mainstream and neoliberal media who really can’t see the difference.”
THIS CROWD!!! Thousands upon thousands are here in Queensbridge Park – with a line still in the streets – for the #BerniesBack rally with @AOC
Nina Turner is absolutely epic! This speech should be played on every network and let the people know! #BernieIsBack #Bernie2020

In Primaries, Democratic Progressives Take On Party Elites
Our Revolution president Nina Turner discusses the first major primary day of the 2018 election season and the ongoing clash between progressives and the Democratic Party establishment
“It’s totally undemocratic and unconstitutional to tell me I would need to support a Democrat even if they don’t display Democratic values,” Lynch said. “This has nothing to do with party loyalty —….” @theintercept Agreed!

Nina Turner ‚Our Revolution‘ President; From Democrat To Irrational
(6.7.2017) To bring about change one has to understand the system; understanding how Congress works. Like it or not when it comes to Congress there are only two parties, Democrat and Republican. If you don’t work to support one of them you are helping the other. We saw that in the last Presidential election and we saw it in 2000 when we ended up with George W. Bush.
