Turner said that voting for Biden was like "eating half a bowl of shit"
this is just true though
Turner helped elect Donald Trump by refusing to endorse Hillary

Libs be like: Nina Turner is a nobody but also she is personally responsible for electing :cheeto-man:
Amazingly, the bourgeoise "democratic" process is rigged by those who actually control the resources in this country against those who would advocate for the dispossessed.
I've read the "she's anti-public school" criticism of Nina Turner before. I think it's valid. From an an intercept article about her 2012 Cleveland plan: "The original version of the Cleveland Plan, which Turner introduced in the state Senate, included a provision to gut existing union contracts and renegotiate everything from scratch. The “fresh start” provision, as it was known, would have also given the school district the power to unilaterally impose a contract if the two sides failed to reach an agreement."

"Another controversial measure included in Turner’s bill was a provision to allow charter schools to share in funds raised by local school levies"
It was a lousy bill, imo. If she were to win her election, she would probably waffle on a lot of her progressive stances and become yet another dunktivist squaddie creating a sideshow to benefit the empire. Her husband and son are both cops.
Are you accusing me of falling for literal DNC propaganda? I'm trying to read various sources on the Cleveland Plan and it all sounds like anti-union 'education reform.' I maintain that if she won, she would do the same pivot to the center all progressives do and we would get very little from her outside of some headlines that makes a few liberals say "yeah!" as long as they're not paying very much attention.
So wait, they sre saying their official platform is no health care and minimum wage? Cause that is how it reads and also is accurate
Haha no, they're trying to say that the DNC platform included those good things---it did not; what it did include was vague language that said something about working towards eventual M4A or some such meaningless bullshit---and that Turner voted against the platform (true) and thus against those good things (false).
